Good to see three kids from the US under 18 team there that means that our programs are definatly getting better.

 

[kruezer]

Nice list, where do you see McDonough and Hughes from the OHL going?

 

[CH Wizard]

Great list ! But put Kessell in front of Joensuu please.

 

[ktownhockey]

Id have to say:
Phil Kessell
Jouensuu
Bryan Little
Ben Shutron
Maxwell
Ryan Macdonough
Bobby Hughes
John Hughes (if he ever gets it going)
Cody Emmerton
Michael Froelik

Just some names who are doing pretty well this year and are getting some respect...

 

[bigd]

Mueller will go ahead of Kessel. Kessel is a very explosive player and he will be a great College player but Mueller is more suited to the Pro game. Another player that could move into the top ten is Kyle Okposo.

 

[Pipeandin]

..

I think Mueller will go ahead of Kessel as well, he fits that pro mold better I think. Kyle Okposo should definately be on that list as well. Isn't Erik Johnson on the U-17 team?

 

[Form and Substance]

Mcdonough is small but he has the skills to be a top 20 selection, he's slowed down after that hot start.

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

Any top goalies to look out for in 06?

 

[Hiishawk]

Any top goalies to look out for in 06?

Dustin Butler- Portland? Also, James Sheppard (Cape Breton) is missing from the above lists. He should be there, not to forget Derrick Brassard (Drummondville) either.

 

[JSmith81x]

Read ISS lists often, The Next One #87?

Thanks

I dont think Kessell should be infront of Joensuu

It wouldn't have anything to do with the fact that your user name is "Finn" and you have a Finnish flag displayed does it?

 

[f1nn]

actually no it wouldn't... I have seen them play and Joensuu is in my opinion the better player... I must admit that I have not seen Kessel play as much but what I have seen has been impressive but I have been more impressed with Joensuu's play

aren´t u an american?

Fact is, kessel will be a better sniper but joesnuu will be well-rounded. a full or better package and rack up a lot of points.

It seems to me, that Frolik will get the top spot.

 

[Anthony Mauro]

aren´t u an american?

lol. What is that saying? The what calling the who black? haha.

Anyways they are both top flight prospects and there shouldnt be people getting angry and accusing others of homerism b/c of their nationality. Especially the poster boy for championing US prospects. Not that its a bad thing tho.

Angry? I'm not angry, although alot of people are labeling me as such lately. In this instance, I was curious as to whether Finn's obvious allegiance had any bearing on his preferance when it comes to prospects.

 

[Big McLargehuge]

Joensuu doesn't have a good enough name to be picked first

You are 18 and live in Swizerland. Have you seen any of these prspects or is this just an opinionated list. I want to know if this is an educated list.

 

[Diaboli]

Joensuu doesn't have a good enough name to be picked first

I agree. If his name would be Lappeenranta, I'd be a lot happier.

 

[PanthersRule96]

I think Frolik will go #1, toss up between Joensuu and Kessel for #2 and then some guys could sneak up to #4 or 5 and potentially higher in Vasuynov and Mueller.

Scoring machine, yes. Speed, definitely not.
