Power Forwards?

[SoundwaveIsCharisma]

Always been curious, but are there any Power Forward prospects in the next few drafts? Not just a big kid that scores, but a big kid that hits, is physically intimidating and also scores?

Im not sure but Joensuu seems to be one.. i only hope he can score too.

 

[Chrisd]

James Sheppard- from the QMJHJL does he count??

Michael forney i think could become a good PF perhaps

okposo isn't huge, but has PF mentality.

 

[Blue Bullet]

Chris Stewart - 225 lbs, can dominate physically and is 11th in scoring in the OHL(2nd only to Little for draft eligible players). He plays like his older brother but Chris is more consistent and has a better work ethic.

Peter Mueller is 6'2'' 205.

 

[X-SHARKIE]

Colton Gillies of Saskatoon is already 6-4 200 plus.

He is likely a top 5 pick in 07.

Just to throw the question out there. Whats everyones take on Sheppard vs. Mueller?

Peter Mueller is 6'2'' 205.

I see him more as a playmaker than a true PF


Okposo comes to mind when it comes to the thread title tho

Remember that powerforward is not the same as a big player who uses his body to grind in the corners, protect the puck or take punishment in front of the net.

Joensuu really doesn't have the edge in his game to be considered a powerforward.

I've seen him use his size plenty in the WHL (which is a gigantice league for juniour) to create chances.

Reaves has the size and hitting ability, now needs the hands.
Dupont is a bit small but plays a bigger game.
Gillies has the size, will he develop the hands?
White has it all but the speed.
Clutterbuck?
Dorsett's too small, but plays big!!

Sheppard has PF potential hes strong on the boards and down low with the puck but needs to add a nasty streak to be a true Power Forward.

Where do you think Sheppard will get drafted?

Where do you think Sheppard will get drafted?

Top 20 for sure.

Where do you think Sheppard will get drafted?

Pretty good chance he will go top 10.

That 2003 draft was so incredible that it causes some teams fans to forget who they drafted after the 1st round.

 

[Lionel Hutz]

James Sheppard- from the QMJHJL does he count??

Absolutely he does. He`s a great prospect with nice size.

How about Tavares?
