I said so earlier and I stand by it, Florida will love the Roberts deal in a few years.

wow, the list is so definately NA biased. Kulemin should definately be in the top 15 somewhere. Others that should have also hit the top 50 list: Kiril Koltsov, Igor Mirnov, Denis Grebeshkov, Andrei Taratukhin, and Mikhail Grabovsky.
Being one of the top defenders in the SEL at his age I think would warrent some recognition. At least from what I've read.
He's drawn comparisions to Lidstrom (no I'm not saying he IS Lidstrom, but an article on NHL.com was comparing him to Lidstrom).
I also believe he's one of, if not the leading ice time for D-men in the SEL at the age of 20. Also has a spot on the World Cup Team if I'm not mistaken.
I'm sure some of the Swedish posters could shed some more light onto Stralman. His stock has risen alot this past year.
Hjalmarsson really impressed me at the WJC's and by all reports is playing well for HV71 in the Swedish elite league. Maybe i'm being a bit of a homer but i think he at least had a shot at making that list.
has anyone who gets their TSN copies via digital download received their Future Watch yet? thanks
I'm still waiting to receive the actual magazine/issue
Odd question....can someone post last year's list?
1st reaction to the list, why no Grabner or Kulemin??
When is this issue available to buy at newstands in Canada?
I've tried to figure it out from reading this thread but it seems everyone is just talking about getting theirs in the mail (aka they are subscribers).
I went yesterday to the mall to get it and the issue they had was the one ranking the top 30 goalies in the NHL.

Next camp.Won't he be an unrestricted free agent in a few years? (3 years)
When do you figure he could realistically crack the top-4?
Next camp.
Has anybody seen the future watch on newstands yet?
Based on the list that orcatown posted, who would you remove from the top 15? The only players who might not belong in the top 15 are Brassard (depending on how he recovers from the lost year of development), Irving and Rask. (Always have my doubts about goaltenders). IMO, the biggest snub for the top 15 is Downie. Love him or hate him, he's going to be one of the best big-game players in the league, and a player that every team in the league will covet.wow, the list is so definately NA biased. Kulemin should definately be in the top 15 somewhere. Others that should have also hit the top 50 list: Kiril Koltsov, Igor Mirnov, Denis Grebeshkov, Andrei Taratukhin, and Mikhail Grabovsky.
I haven't got mine yet either.The Hockey News are a terrible record of issues being late.Sports Illustrated and the Sporting News always arrive on Thursday.THN arrives when it arrives.THN always says the problem is the United States Post Office.The bills always seem to arrive every month on the same day

SUCH a huge joke. The guy has been flat out dominating the AHL and he somehow DROPS in the rankings and is passed by a bunch of guys who haven't done nearly as much as him?
What a joke! Though it IS THN and they have some really weird rankings sometimes.
