This is a question for those who have been watching UND hockey. Who is the better NHL prospect? Toews is projected as a top 5 pick in 2006, but I'm hearing that Oshie has looked better. Thanks.
He might not have been projected as a first rounder but both Edmonton and St. Louis had him fairly high on their draft lists. It appears that Kevin Lowe was going to draft Oshie with Edmonton's first round pick last year but St. Louis ended up selecting him just before they could. It's turning out to be a great thing because the Oilers got "stuck" with Andrew Cogliano...Leachmeister2000 said:I don't know much about Oshie, but he wasn't even slated as a first rounder when he was picked and now his potential and I did say potential, not the player he is now, is being compared to a kid some say might go #1 in a top heavy draft?

Rabid Ranger said:Well, St. Louis and Edmonton (to name just two teams) had Oshie slated as a first rounder, and he was drafted middle-of-the pack so it's not ridiculous to compare him to Toews. Toews probably has more pure talent and is obviously bigger not to mention younger, but Oshie is no slouch when it comes to skill and is an extremely hard worker and very gritty.
Rabid Ranger said:Yes.

crosby_87 said:Not to mention that Toews could have at least 6 or 7 more points if him or his linemates finished some chances. Toews has hit numerous posts and crossbars it's unreal. He is a very very good player. Its tough to compare the two because they work so well together on a line together.
Notice that I said he has hit the crossbar and posts numerous times too, i'm not saying its all Oshie who hasn't been finishing. But those two are just awesome to watch...when that line is on the ice I stand up in my living room.topshelf331 said:Ive seen OShie set up toews with a few open nets also with toews not being able to finnish.
