It is inevitable... This isn't another negative thread. I'm just curious to get the input of some of the posters on here that are more well-read on,

It is inevitable...

This isn't another negative thread. I'm just curious to get the input of some of the posters on here that are more well-read on, or better yet have actually seen these guys play.

No way in hell that the top 5 picks all become great NHLers. there is always a bust (sucky NHL player, way too long of a project, etc) in the mix.

So which one of this bunch is most likely to be the "oops, I should have taken ____ instead" guy?

how about you wait till you see a single one of them play in an nhl game before you try to figure out who will be a bust.

Or, I could just try to open up a discussion on it. What exactly is the point of discussion boards anyway?

Picking anyone would just be a wild stab in the dark and if anyone really knew the answer, that prospect wouldn't be so highly touted in the first place.

There's nature and there's nurture.

I think a lot will depend on who "develops" them.

In the wrong system, some parts of their games might not develop.
