Which of these two first round defensemen are more likely to have a successful career in the NHL?

agreed, i think Valabik will be a solid 3rd or maybe 4th defenseman, i dont see him putting to much points up, well at least not as many as Meszaros will put upLegionnaire said:I think that's fair. Meszaros will more than likely put up more points throught his career, while Valabik will probably bring a lot of intangibles.

Puckhead said:Meszaros over Valabik is not even worthy of discussion. Meszaros is a top 3 or 4 D-man in this draft. If we are looking at impact on their NHL team, it will look something like this...
Barker
Meszaros
Thelen
Smid
Valabik

"Very mature," "atta boy" and then the funniest thing, Bob Hartley, in his thick French-Canadian accent exclaim,"that's what I'm talking about!" when Valabik annihilated Steve Baby (a big boy himself) with a check along the boards. I gotta believe they liked what they saw--I sure did!
