2007 is a poor year for Europe, eh?

 

[Kvashinator12]

Don't you think it's a little sick that these kids are 13 and 14 years old and we are creating draft lists for them already. I dont even think there will be an NHL at that point.

I'm not familiar to any europeans exept Skokan and Gratchev. I'm from Sweden myself, and I haven't heard of any swedes.

Maybe it's a little sick.

Not trying to be a dick here, but it's WAY too early to even ponder '07... many of these guys might fall well into day 2.

Or they're 16 years old, playing in the WHL already in some cases. People do this all the time.

 

[trahans99]

Is John Tavares eligible for the 2008 draft? Do you have a top 30 for 2008 yet? Just joking I like to see names of great young players to watch for the next few years.

These kids are all at least 15 and some are 16 year old CHL players as Fedz said. Its not too early. 2009 draft on the other hand, is too early.

 

[prevail]

I played with a few of these guys, they're 15 (turning 16 this yr) or 16

 

[NYRangers]

I hear my neighbors zygote has some potential. Its got size for his age. You just can't teach that.

 

[Hossa]

I agree it's too early, but, there are 2007 players that play in the CHL. I know the Ottawa 67's for example have two of them: Matt Lahey and Arron Alphonso.

 

[VanIslander]

Let's talk about more guys we've never seen play.

 

[czechhockeyfan]

2007 is a poor year for Europe, eh?

Some good Czech prospects:
Goalie Marek Benda
Defenseman: David Stich
Forwards: Michal Repik, Jakub Voracek, Ondrej Roman, Vladimir Ruzicka jr.

He's '09 eligible. The only players from the 2008 draft that I am familiar to is Patrice Cormier.
A forward playing Jr.AAA in Moncton, I think.

2007 players playing in the CHL( from the top 30):
WHL:
Karl Alzner, Calgary Hitmen
Zach Hamill, Everett Silvertips
Taylor Ellington, Everett Silvertips
Keaton Ellerby, Kamloops Blazers
QMJHL:
Maxime Gratchev, Quebec Remparts
OHL:
No player

I maybe missed some players.

 

[Crosby=Gretzky]

Vladimir Ruzicka jr.

I guess he has much to live up to.

 

[BigE]

Some good Czech prospects:
Goalie Marek Benda
Defenseman: David Stich
Forwards: Michal Repik, Jakub Voracek, Ondrej Roman, Vladimir Ruzicka jr.

I've been doing some extra work on the EHM database lately, trying to bulk up the size of the Czech Jrs. - could you give me some approximate potentials for these guys, in particular Stich. He's 6'2 198, and a bruiser...the next physical defenseman to come out of the Republic maybe?

Post here or PM me if you like. I'd appreciate it, thanks eh.

When is Devon MacAusland eligible?
