Who are most improves since being drafted in 05?

[Redwingsfan]

There are allot of talk about Johan Ryno in Sweden. Haven't seen much about him, but he do have potential, and if he can fullfill it, the ****ing redwings have done it again...

off course we have

 

[jacketracket*]

Will Lascek make it to the NHL? What little I've read about him suggests that his skating is pretty weak.

 

[Slitty]

I'd say that awsomeness known as Nikolai Lemtyugov.

 

[HuskyFlames]

For the Flames, Dan Ryder. The guy has it all. Very strong well rounded player. May not have the shot his brother does but the rest of his game appears to be better overall than his big brother.

 

[Boston]

Apparently his biggest improvement came after June, though.

If he was a Leaf still you'd be posting his name too.

 

[YouAreStupid]

If he was a Leaf still you'd be posting his name too.

I still think he's a great goalie prospect. No more or less then when he was part of our organization.

 

[Team_Spirit]

Yandle , S.Kostitsyn , Pavelec and D.Ryder

 

[Form and Substance]

Probably Lindren, he would have gone in the top 15 if the draft was re-done. On the habs front, the 2005 draft seems like a hit so far, with M.Aubin dominating the Q, Latendresse almost making the team off the bat, D'agostini looking like a Chris Higgins clone, Juraj Mikus coming over to NA and Kostitsyn showing a lot of promise in London. I'm very satisfied.

[Karamazov]

Yandle, Vlasic, LeTang spring to mind...

Booming slap shot, this will either be his second or third year in the RSL...

Anze Kopitar!

Two homer picks, but Kris Russell and Darren Helm.

Helm wasn't even on the radar when the Wings drafted him in the 6th round and then went and put up over 70 some points. He also has a good chance to make the WJ team.

Russell was drafted in the 3rd round by the Blue Jackets and won the WHL defenseman of the year as well as the WHL and CHL sportsman of the year.

 

[Hunter Gathers]

What about 7th rounder Ryan Russell?

Identical twin to Kris and posesses nearly as much talent but somehow got overlooked. The kid absolutely tore up the WHL and apparantly has looked fantastic at the Rangers rookie camp and prospect tourny.

 

[Talent Analyst]

Hmmm Guillaume Latendresse

Personally, I'm not as high on Ryan as I am on Kris. I don't think he possesses nearly as much talent as his brother and takes too many shifts off.
Sure he can make the increadible plays, but at the same time he doesn't work as hard to get them.

Just my 2 cents.

I dont think he has a good shot at Team Canada, but he was at the summer camp...

Helm looked like a capable player, but not one that stood out at the camp. He'll need to continue to improve at his pace to make the team.

In regards to other posters saying Cody Franson is a "shoe in for team Canada" or as well has "a good chance to make team Canada", I dont think he has a hope in h-e-double hockey sticks to make team canada. 5 returning defencemen (assuming guys like bourdon and staal dont make their NHL clubs) and guys like Vlasic, Gragani and McNeill blowing him out of the water at the summer camp. Franson to me looked brutal at the camp, but I guess everyone has there own opinions.

As for the topic, Id say Pertu Lindgren has risen his stock the most.

That would be my pick...right behind Brandon Dubinsky. Dubinsky's development has been amazing. Brodie Dupont and Tom Pyatt deserve a mention as well.

brandon dubinsky was drafted in 04

Vlasic is lighting up the rookie tournament out west.

 

[HFNHL Canadiens]

I think Steve Downie has improved his stock, putting up impressive numbers in the OHL, in limited games played, argubaly Canada's best forward at the WJC's aswell. He has a very impressive blend of agitating ability and offensive skill. He has an outside shot at the Flyers roster this year.
