Is Tavares a bigger "no brainer" #1 than Jason Spezza and Mike Ricci were?
There is that Kuchin kid in Russia...
Is Tavares a bigger "no brainer" #1 than Jason Spezza and Mike Ricci were?
That's impressive!
P.S does anyone know who Fredrik Csisar is?Or heard of him?
I just think that after hype like that he should be breaking some records, not just being amazing.
"If John Tavares were eligible for the 2008 draft and it was being held on Saturday, where would he rank on the lists they just submitted?"
The strong consensus is at No. 2, just behind Sarnia sniper Steven Stamkos. Tavares accumulated 91 voting points. Stamkos had 100; and Drew Doughty 88.
Three scouts did say they would take Tavares first overall.
"You can't look past 72 goals as a 16 year old," one scout said. "He's only going to get better. He's so focused. He is so determined to score goals and make goals happen that he won't be denied."
But five scouts pegged him at No. 2 and two others ranked him at No. 3. So seven of 10 scouts surveyed, as of today, would take Stamkos over Tavares.
Your kidding right? Tavares won the CHL Rookie of the Year Award as a 15 year old. And you are actually comparing them?
btw stamkos has a good attitude unlike tavares and i know both personally ive trained with both.
The fact that he's pushing to get into the draft this year is going to negatively impact his public standing...Rediculous statement. He just has a bad attitude? In regards to what? In general?

im talking about things that dont even have to do with hockey that i shouldnt mention.
TSN has an article on it's website debating whether or not Tavares would be the number 1 pick in this ut year's draft. 7/10 scouts say Stamkos would be their choice. I know Stamkos is a great player and should be a star in the NHL someday but how do you pass up on a talent like Tavares. Tavares is a talent that doesn;t come along very often. These scouts may say this now but i think they would change their tune on the actual draft day. I know the argument is insignificant since they won't be drafted in the same year but interesting nonetheless.
