[Epsilon]

Kari Lehtonen.

 

[Jeff Goldblum]

Ryan Whitney could have a big impact on the Pens team, filling out their top 4.

 

[BIG GIFS]

I think that if the Habs bring Tomas Plekanec, he could fill a place on the 2nd line.

I think that if the Habs bring Tomas Plekanec, he could fill a place on the 2nd line.

If that's true, the Habs are in serious trouble.

 

[Ajacied]

Trevor Daley will be given a top 4 role in Dallas, and given that he plays a style that we need, I think he could make quite an impact for us. Dan Ellis, Turco's backup is another. Antti Miettinen and Junior Lessard not so much consiering our depth up front.

 

[Legionnaire]

Lethtonen
Zherdev
Michelek should fill a second or third line spot depending on Damphousse
Ruutu
Horton should be healthy next year, and should see a lot of minutes
Staal-will probably take over as the number 1 guy in Carolina

 

[McDonald19]

hoping this is Chistov's breakout year...

For shame Ducks fan. You mention Chistov, but not Lupul. I would say that he's good for about 20 this year.

 

[Ejh18]

Zherdev was a point per game player, after the legal issues surounding his arrival were settled.

Keep in mind he doesnt speak any english. He didnt have a training camp, or rookie camp...

With a full training camp this year he could really do some damage.

Ruutu

Ruutu, Horton, and Staal are not considered prospects anymore, because they played a full season in the NHL next year.

At the world juniors here in Halifax, Zherdev was one of the better English speaking russians. He usually just doesn't say much to anyone but he can speak english very very well.

 

[X-SHARKIE]

Sharks wise.

Milan Michalek well be a Shark, he's up to 225 pounds and hasn't lost his acceleration. He is done re habing and has one over the organization with his speed, strength, skill, competitivness, and from a good scoure.

Is being "Penned" in to the line up... notice penned and not penciled in. He could see 1st line time arleady because his style of play meshes perfectly with Patrick Marleau.


Marcel Goc: Well be a lock to be the third line center now. Underated skills and very smart. Plus/Minus could lead rookies.

With Ricci, Damphouse, Brown, Harvey leaving, (4 regulars in the playoffs) with only Sturm returning.

Sharks well have plenty of room for Michalek and Goc.

 

[Barnaby]

Fedor Tyutin for NYR should have a solid year on a putrid Ranger defense.

Fingers crossed on Pock and Kondratiev

 

[Legionnaire]

Ruutu, Horton, and Staal are not considered prospects anymore, because they played a full season in the NHL next year.

It was hard to tell, the question was a little vague.

At the world juniors here in Halifax, Zherdev was one of the better English speaking russians. He usually just doesn't say much to anyone but he can speak english very very well.

I know that in January 2004 he was very happy to learn the word "teacher". The longest sentense he could say at that moment was: "What's up?"

 

[McDonald19]

For shame Ducks fan. You mention Chistov, but not Lupul. I would say that he's good for about 20 this year.

Yeah hoping for no sophomore slump for Lupul, and hoping Chistov recovers from his sophomore slump.

Ahh yes, avoiding the ol' jinx factor.

 

[BrooklynCanuck]

1. Lehtonen (best goalie prospect has to be #1)
2. Zherdev (could put up 35-45)
3. Horton (big guys take time, but Horton could get 60 and be physical)

 

[JrussJacket]

Zherdev

Zherdev (Could put up 35-45)???

Come on man? He put up 34 points in 57 games last year. I think he be close to 60 this year.

 

[db23]

Do Lupul (75 games) and Zherdev (57 games) still qualify as prospects? My choices would be Dustin Brown, Milan Michalek, Kari Lehtonen, Alex Ovechkin, Rotislav Olesz.
If you include guys like Lupul and Zherdev, I would nominate Mike Komisarek (46 games) as well.

 

[Kovy274Hart]

Here's five in no particular order:

Tuomu Ruutu
Patrice Bergeron
Nikolai Zherdev
Paul Martin
Fedor Tjutin

 

[PSUhockey34]

On the Caps blueline players like Morrisonn, Yonkman (if stays healthy), and Eminger should see significant ice time with Morrisonn having the biggest impact

Aulin will have the biggest impact at the foward postion, I'm hesistant to say Ovechkin would b/c if there is a lockout I could see the Caps letting him stay in Russia for the complete season
