So says Mr. Johnny Walker Blue.

you maybe won our lil debate but im thinking most would take Toews over Kopitar

I'm surprised Toews doesnt have more PK time overall in his career than Kopitar. I'd like to see LEGIT NUMBERS!

Lucas needs to pay attention at how he's playing this season under Trotz

Ovi is playing much better this season, but he's still a hog and I will never like him.

Toews is a workhorse but godamnit if he wasn't disappointing in my pool for the first month and a half of the season.

arrowneutral 1. (1) Auston Matthews, C, Zurich (Swiss), 6-2, 190 lb. Some scouts detected a few lazy habits picked up during his months in Europe. But he’s still at the top of the heap.

arrowup 2. (4) Patrik Laine, LW, Tampere (Finland), 6-3, 195 lb. The onsensus out of the world juniors among NHL scouts was he’s just got that little extra something. Dynamic scorer.

arrowneutral 3. (3) Jesse Puljujarvi, RW, Karpat (Finland), 6-3, 198 lb. MVP at the world juniors, and better than Laine in the eyes of some. It’s going to come down to the preferences of a specific team.

arrowdown 4. (2) Matthew Tkachuk, LW, London (OHL), 6-1, 188 lb. It’s Tkachuk’s playmaking more than his scoring that stands out when you watch him. Was very good at WJC.

arrowup 5. (6) Alexander Nylander, LW, Mississauga (OHL), 6-0, 172 lb. He only got to play a few shifts with his older brother at the world juniors, but showed very well in Helsinki.

arrowdown 6. (5) Jakob Chychrun, D, Sarnia (OHL), 6-2, 194 lb. Didn’t make WJC team after struggling against CIS teams in exhibition. He wasn't crisp with the puck. The Top Prospects Game will be important for him.

arrowup 7. (16) Olli Juolevi, D, London Knights (OHL), 6-2, 180 lb. Was terrific on the big stage in Helsinki. Owns superb hockey sense. Some have him ahead of Chychrun.

arrowdown 8. (7) Clayton Keller, C, USNTDP (USHL), 5-9, 170 lb. Disappointed that he was final cut from the American world juniors team. Has 63 points in 32 games.

arrowdown 9. (8) Kieffer Bellows, LW, USNTDP (USHL), 6-0, 189 lb. Another Team USA cut cut for Helsinki. The pure sniper has 26 goals in 33 games.

arrowneutral 10. (10) Mikhail Sergachev, D, Windsor (OHL), 6-3, 195 lb. Continues to impress with his mature game. Now one of three Spitfires rated in the first round.

Look for my new blog on the top right, with a cool title such as "THE BOYES KEEP ON WINNING" or "PHANEUF-ING THE FLAMES" or "THE CONSTANT GARDINER" or "RIELLY AWESOME"

Caps as a team look much deeper.

Oshie + Williams addition upfront, + Kuznetsov ripening nicely.

the removal of Green itself is a + since Carlson gets his spot.

and of course the emergence of Holtby.,.

He looks to generate his shot first. I think he has always been a selfish player, I am allowed my own opinion.
