[Kamsa]

I would say Trevor Lindin should fit in around 7 or higher, he didnt even make your top 20.

 

[Vatican Roulette]

Rod Brind' Amour is a sure-fire top 20 guy in that draft...

 

[Debrincat93]

id take carney before heinze

 

[Chaos]

Modano still goes #1 or #2..probably still #1.

My mistake.. i made the adjustments

thanks alot

id take carney before heinze

I disagree..... they are both good players and neither have been stars... Heinz has had a few solid seasons and Carney has been a solid D. Its a flip of a coin in my opinon

PS my list is now updated .. i forgot some good players haha its been a long day.. thanks

Heinze can't even make the NHL while Carney is a cornerstone of Anaheim's defense.

 

[Vlad The Impaler]

Modano still goes #1 or #2..probably still #1.

No way. Rob Blake all the way.

 

[hockeyGod]

Ill take Gelinas over a few of these guys, pure playoff grit. Great leader, and plays when it counts.

BTW, he came into my work t,he other day, wowowowowowow talk about huuuuuuuuuuuuuge legs. purely amazing

I can't see Gelinas ove3r anyone rated ahead of him on my list.

 

[ktownhockey]

7 Players from this draft that were drafted in the first round would have been first rounder if we did the draft now IMO.

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Linden is better than Gelinas.

 

[degroat*]

No way. Rob Blake all the way.

Agreed... but Modano should be 2nd.

 

[ktownhockey]

Agreed... but Modano should be 2nd.

I despise Jeremy Roenick... but you know what he's a better all around hockey player than Mike Modano.... He's got around the same PPG and he hits and gets under people's skin... he even scores the big goals... and over the years has been a little cheaper to acquire... therefore Roenick # 2 Modano # 3

Roenick doesnt have the explosiveness Modano has..and he hasnt been able to produce in Hitchcock's defensive system, something Modano was able to do.

considering he's on his 9th concussion I think he;s been producing pretty damn well.
He scores timely goals and is a warrior out there. Ask anyone who they'd rather go to war with in the NHL Jeremy Roenick or Mike Modano and Im sure you would here a greater percentage side with JR.

Modano is a little better in the regular seasons. But JR brings it in the clutch, as much as I hate to say it.
