RD Kris Letang (2005, 62nd overall, Pittsburgh)

[littleguybigstik]

sorry i failed to mention, this is for a keeper pool. what u said was my point to him. but he disagrees

 

[Freaky Habs Fan]

Not the top pick for me, as he would be an overager...top 10 for sure...maybe top 5...

But will we do that for every prospects from the past years...:

oh gotcha

 

[MitchRobichaud]

top 4, the kings would certainly pick him over Alzner

 

[Canuck71*]

Letang?

Will Kris Letang be playing with the Penguins this season? I've heard he will but has this been confirmed?. Sorry if this has been answered somewere else.

 

[Granlund2Pulkkinen*]

Definately. They're blueline needs it.

 

[rodmunch]

Definately. They're blueline needs it.

Exactly

Every lineup prediction ive seen for them has Letang in it

 

[rompo]

Letang + Whitney = true love... too bad Gonchar and Sydor have to take up their time...

 

[davemess]

Shero keeps talking about Letang as already being part of the lineup...... to the extent that he was musing on whether Eaton or Sydor would be used as his D partner.

I wasn't expecting that at all Who's gonna be on defence for Pittsburgh? Gonchar, Eaton, Orpik, Whitney, Nasredine...?

and Sydor

 

[CertifiedPublicGuin]

Nasreddine and Scuderi will probably both get time in the 6th spot, which is disturbing in that it's just too terribly similar to last season for me to stomach.

 

[Nich]

so does that mean he is officially dropped from being a top prospect for pit alla montoya

 

[Le Tricolore]

This hurts my fantasy team.

 

[xeric716x]

whats so shocking? he played like grabage in the pre season

 

[Chimaera]

About where he should be. In the AHL putting on some muscle and getting experience. Just because the team has Crosby doesn't mean its time to rush all of their young players. They have the ability to develop them without the rush. I still think the guy has significant upside.



But where's the Penguins hype machine on these boards going into overkill to quiet this post down? Last I heard he was going to QB the PP right away and be a top defenseman from the get go. Not to mention that he was an easy dark horse for the calder.


Guess that ship might be sailing.

 

[DisgruntledHawkFan]

Thank god. I wish him all the best, but his nuts must be huge with so many people riding them.

 

[NewtJorden]

im surprise

I agree, ever since the WJC he's been god's gift to HF for some strange reason

 

[hnat trick]

I'm betting he won't be in the AHL for long. Just trying to make him earn the job rather than just handing it to him.

 

[Abyss]

Yup, there were far too many posts about how he'd come in and outscore his own teamate in Ryan Whitney...

 

[XX]

Will this stop the Letang = God posts?

 

[Transported Upstater]

People obsess way too much about the WJC here, IMO.

 

[Boomhower]

Smart move, he isn't ready. He may be able to put up a few points, but he'd be a huge defensive liability at this point.
