Steals from 1999-2001

[Kavliary2000]

Rather then just speculating on steals from 2003 and 2004
Why not look at actual players who have developed nicely and who are knocking on the NHL's door.

Not looking for superstars here, just players who are following a good development path and have a good chance of being regular NHLers

Criteria:

0 nhl games played

Lets look at:
1999 all rounds
2000 all rounds
2001 all rounds

[cassius]

Mikko Koivu?...

 

[Spetzky]

Havlat.

 

[Slats432]

Havlat.

You wouldn't consider him an NHL regular?

Woywitka, Goc are two that come to mind.

Perezhogin was on a decent path until he had his brain fart.

 

[rangers]

Henrik Lundqvist

 

[417]

Tomas Plekanec chosen in the 3rd round 71st overall, is and will be an absolute steal IMO

 

[Pangolin]

Ari Ahonen still hasn't played a game yet...
Donno about steals but he fits the criteria...

 

[Pangolin]

As for the Canucks...some of us still hope Kankaanpera would do something in the future...He's still on the radar..

 

[pei fan]

biggest steal of a star; brad richards

 

[Hellström]

Good choices:

2000 Todd Jackson (DET)
2000 Eric Reitz (MIN)

 

[nomorekids]

pretty pleased with martin erat(round 7, 1999)

 

[nomorekids]

and adam hall(round 4, 99)

 

[Flames Draft Watcher]

biggest steal of a star; brad richards

The topic is about 99-2001. Richards was drafted in 98.

 

[Flames Draft Watcher]

Mike Comrie was a 3rd rounder in 99

 

[Chaos]

2000
Henrik Lundqvist- 205th overall- Arguably the best goalie prospect in Europe
Magnus Kahnberg- 212th overall- Led the SEL in goals last year; only 24

2001
Alexander Polushin- 47th overall- love this guy
Igor Grigorenko- 62nd overall(but only if he returns to pre-care crash form)
Yared Hagos- 70th overall- Has 3rd line center written all over him
Ben Eaves- 131st overall
Jussi Jokinen- 192nd overall- tearing it up in Finland, top 6 winger in the future

 

[Russian_fanatic]

Henrik Lundqvist EASILY!

 

[Bruins4Ever]

When was Bergeron drafted. I think it was 2002, but I'm not sure.

Ben Eaves- 131st overall
Jussi Jokinen- 192nd overall- tearing it up in Finland, top 6 winger in the future

possibly the two biggest steals in their respective drafts.

 

[Chaos]

possibly the two biggest steals in their respective drafts.

I wouldnt go that far- just on my list I would say Lundqvist(2000) and Jokinen(2001) are bigger steals. And thats not including players who have seen NHL action. But thats just me

 

[DownFromNJ]

Aaron Voros 229th overall 2001.

Currently leading rookie scorers, plus 51 PIMS in the AHL.

 

[McDonald19]

Bryzgalov 2000 2nd round pick.

Popovic, Joel Perrault, Pierre Parenteau 2001 2nd, 5th and 9th round picks developing with Cincy AHL.

 

[Reilly311]

wow, I guess you people can't read that the criteria is 0 NHL games played.

Stefan Liv in the 3rd round is a nice pick.

and

Igor Grigorenko in the 2nd round BEFORE his accident. I still think he'll bounce back personally.

 

[Anfernic]

Hey guys the man who started this thread write 0 nhl game played

So no havlat, no bergeron, no richards here it's a prospect board and if you just want to talk about nhl player change of forum.

 

[AG9NK35DT8*]

2000
Henrik Lundqvist- 205th overall- Arguably the best goalie prospect in Europe
