Good question, I don't know. Weber is a bit more flashy with his physicality and booming shot so maybe he's just more noticeable? I don't know, maybe Weber really is better. I'm not an expert lol.

Suter gets more minutes than Weber most of the time so his coach must think he's worthy. I don't know if it's a majority or anything but a lot of Preds fans think Suter is better too. That's why I say arguable. Both are great.

both are beasts, oh and wait for it... wait for it............ they werent drafted 1st overall thats right

A couple of years ago, he played 22 games. Hemsky's had 1 season of 80+ games.

He's never been an exceptionally healthy player.

Yeah but he had value

I didn't say you did.
- yea-ok-buddy

I'm comfused you quoted me saying that

Ottawa is so happy they went with Daigle over Pronger.

In the end of all this BS and debating, leafs suck right now, and until burke goes insane and trades for the world and drafts galchenyuk this friday, there is some hope.

Yeah but he had value
- Mapleleafs_91

A guy coming off a 22 game season has value?


Not so much.

If Ellis is so insanely awesome, why does Nashville trade him for Hemsky?
- Schenn-Sational!

The hemsky ignorance around here is astounding.

Even with the worst year of his career, guys a career .8 ppg player. Thats star quality. More than any single forward on the preds.
Outside of maybe hornqvist, or erat, his point potential is higher than any forward on that team.

Fact

I'm comfused you quoted me saying that

Giroux was drafted #22, as was Eberle

Jamie Benn is a 5th round pick, Datsyuk? a 7th rounder...

you can argue this with any position, not only defensmen...

He had 22 pts in 22 games... he was on a good pace that year, plus he did have value since edmonton supposingly wanted more than ellis but the trade didnt fall through

i must have missed the funny part?

Yes, yes you can. Though eberle is a really good player and giroux had 112 pts in 63 games when he was drafted... whoever didnt pick him earlier were morons

you could factor in Radulov if he wasnt such a doorknob.

completely off-topic... but this microsoft mobile OS may be the ugliest thing I've ever seen.

Good point. Was that 1995 or something?

Have a look at the last ten first overalls...btw-only one was a dman.
The chances Of yakupov being a bust with todays research is slim to none

Hemsky can be a great player but you can't ignore how much he's been injured... his only real value is to the oilers any other team won't pay the cost the oilers attach to it. Personally a healthy Hemsky would help any team but that's been far from the reality.

Lol I clearly can't read right now haha
- Jake_1723

You that read wrong.

Rads is better than hemmer no doubt. But hes gone. Went back to khl apparently

Claude Giroux here averaged 103 pts in 69 games, then the year he was drafted averaged 112 pts in 63 games in the QMJHL, yet was picked 22nd overall..... that my friends is stupidity. Especially with the leafs, who picked tlusty for some odd reason? What a joke Dumbass scouts we and the rest of the teams had

Ever see Antonio Silva?
- yea-ok-buddy

I watched him destroy my favourite fighter

You that read wrong.
