Top 50 - The Best Of The Rest

[MrMastodonFarm*]

Tim Ramholt and Shea Weber are two guys who would probably make an extended list.

 

[PanthersRule96]

Lukas Krajicek

 

[neelynugs]

i think brad boyes is top 75 - much closer to 75

 

[DownFromNJ]

Suglobov
Ahonen

 

[coyoteshockeyfan]

I thought Ward, LeNeveu, and Lundquist were all ahead of Niitymaki, but Ive never seen all of them play so my opinion doesnt count for much.

 

[Chimaera]

Fehr is already on there.


Aulin, Morrisonn and Fleischman could've had some consideration. Especially Morrisonn, at least from what I've seen, and as a hometeam standpoint.


The trio I listed could probably easily slide somewhere in the next 25-30.

Robert Nilsson is one of the most talented junior players in the world but he's had a tough time logging quality ice time in the SEL the past 1 and a half seasons. He has recently been loaned to a 2nd tier team in Sweden (Hammarby) so it will be interesting to track his progress. Can't wait to watch him at the WJC and I predict him to lead Sweden in scoring. He was in the mid 30's on the last HF rankings.

Are you sure you are not saying that to everyone ..

You know you're not allowed to have 100 players on your Top 50 list even if you are the chair ..

Make sure you don't go to all the other boards and check.

Honestly, I can't remember where he shook out in the last vote. In my own personal Top 50, Lundqvist is there.

Oh, okay. What do you think of him? Can you give me a comparison, upside and downside? I haven't seen him, so I have know nothing about him. In your Top-50, what Rangers do you have in it? You seem to like Jessiman, can you give me a comparison, upside, and downside? I've seen him three times, and I wasn't very impressed, and would like to see someone's opinion that I highley respect.


Sorry for asking so many questions. Any information is highley appreciated.

 

[No Quarter*]

What about Noah Welch or Ryan Stone?

George, I know this is off-topic, but I want to test your memory.

Does the name "Brassard" reminds you something ?

There you are, my friend

Tim Ramholt and Shea Weber are two guys who would probably make an extended list.

I have a feeling Ramholt will be a real good one....sometimes I wonder why he's not mentioned more... anyone can tell me how he's progressing?

LeClaire (was he on there?)
Shantz

He played for the Cape Breton Screaming Eagles last season and put together a stellar campaign by all reports, you'd have to ask a Q follower to get more in depth, but statistically it seemed good, something like 35 points in 50 games I believe and a ridiculous +/- He's currently gone back to Switzerland to play with his hometown Zurich Lions again, and it seems like he's getting more PT, the points aren't there yet though, I'd give him at least 2 years before he gets a real shot at the NHL personally.

Thanx, sounds like hes on track to be the player expected to be when drafted ..solid Defensively with some offensive upside.

 

[Ajacied]

Pretty much all of the Stars top 5 prospects can be nominated (Miettinen/Daley/Jokinen/Eriksson/Fransson) here. They're all either too inexperienced (too raw) or just lack the flair to make the top 50 list.

 

[Double O Soul]

imo obvious ommisions would be Miko Koivu, Robert Nilsson, and Mark Stuart...and my homer pick would be Cam Ward

 

[mazmin]

You mean Finn ... I'm pretty sure.

Kogairodov (Ott)
Immonen (NYR)
Kesler (Van)
Stuart (Bos)
Lundqvist (NYR)

If any one of these guys was slotted in the top 30 there would be few arguments... yet they were left out of the top 50.

I still think players in Europe don't get enough respect.

 

[An Ape called Yoko]

Id like to add Johan Fransson who is currently kicking ass, covering up for Jaroslav Obsut in Luleå on the first pairing and playing really solid.
