2011 NHL Entry Draft Guide – The Next Ones

The 1st profile:
The Next Ones- Adam Larsson – 2011 Draft Prospect Profile – From Larsson to Lidstrom

Excerpt:

One-Timer:

The burgeoning blue chip blueliner out of Sweden understandably draws comparisons to the incomparable Niklas Lidstrom. To compare Larsson at this stage to Lidstrom, however, is unjust. Lidstrom is undeniably one of the great blueliners of all time. But Larsson does indeed have the potential to be an excellent blueliner in his own right.

Well, I liked your piece on Couturier especially because of the space and effort you took explaining "mono" and the effect mono can have on a player.

My theory (and it is only a theory) is that Couturier did not improve this year in the fashion of some of the other top prospects such as RNH and Strome because of the mono and next year you will see a bulked up Sean Couturier who will show the improvement expected of him this year - just a theory - hmm, sure hope I am right.

Thanks ikelechien - I wondered if anyone would key in on that aspect. I share your theory!
