Kane is an exceptional offensive talent and has hockey sense out the ying yang. He sees the ice incredibly well, and seems to know where everyone is. On the PP, he eats up teams because they have to respect him for his scoring ability, yet he can just as easily feather a pass straight through the defenders. In terms of pure offensive ability, you could argue he's the best in the draft class, although Cherepanov's 18 Russian Super League goals can atest. As for the rumors of skating and defensive liability that surround Kane, it remains to be seen. From what I've seen, it's there, especially the skating, and while he isn't one of those super speedsters, he certainly would have skating adequate of the NHL level very soon. In terms of defense, he does backcheck, and while he doesn't do PK, he gets back effectively, and is far from a defensive liability. Then again, a team who needs him only needs him to be okay in his own end, because he'll be so busy filling the net with pucks.
Kyle Turris showed he can live up to the hype through his play in the U18, but the fact that he doesn't play Major Junior A, and the fact that he dominated, but didn't overpower his opponents, leaves me a bit skeptical. Of course, Turris is a more well rounded player than Kane (at least for what he was required to do), and so he isn't as offensively gifted. If a team is looking for offense, they should pass on him, but if they want a well rounded, two way player that could probably be comfortable in all situations, and of course provide some grit that is almost exclusive to Canadians (almost), then they should pick him. Sure, my knoweledge of Turris isn't great, as I've never seen him play, but its clear he has what it takes to be a quality NHL player. At the same time though, I would probably have him at the bottom of the Top 5 forwards...
