Homerism? Sure. Yakupov was the 1st overall pick for a reason. Can't really not sing his praises.
- Maxbone


I understand that, but everyone else on the list is older.

That's really all I was getting at with the 'age, and experience' part.

Plus, I think the guys that played in the AHL will have a leg up on him this year.

I'm sure he'll be a star, but for this season, I just don't see him being better than 5 or 6 of the other guys on the list.

Read some of the comment threads on his website. He's not even the worst of them.

Oh I know. Scary people out there. Everything is a conspiracy!!! Give any crazy guy with a loud enough voice a microphone and those nuts eat it up. Also as a Canadian I apparently hate freedom.

Why does he start screaming for no reason half-way through the interview?

Not sure how you think Huberdeau is overrated as a prospect. The guy only lit the world on fire in the minors and is in everyone else's top 5 rookie watch.
- jacke1ope


I'm not sure why, but I've never been a fan of Huberdeau. I'm not saying he sucks or he won't make it, just saying that I don't see what they hype is all about.

Beau Bennett has been a PPG player for Wilkes-barre in the AHL, if he cracks the Penguins top 6 and can have chemistry with either Crosby or Malkin what stops him from winning the Calder?

Justin Schultz is an amazing rookie

an amazing rookie who definetly won't win the calder, i think the NHL will be a wake-up call

30 points will be great....but the -10 (or worse) wont win him the calder

i'm not hating but with this many impressive forward rookies i can't see it, the last 2 D to win the Calder won it due to their D, Myers put up 48 points but was a +13.....than you go to Jackman...all D....good luck Schultz but i dont see it

its not to hate on Schultz but in the past 3 years there's been an amazing crop of offensive defensemen who still didnt win the Calder....

- Habitants98


I'm not sure how everyone figures Schultz is a defensive liability.

He's a plus eight in the AHL, not to mention 48 points in 34 games.

He went nuts right off the get go. Probably 30 seconds in. That guy is (frank)ed up. I understand people have different views, and to each their own, but the inability to have calm and intelligent debate tells it all. Yea, give the guy a gun. Thats a good idea.

He cant even handle a civil debate, and hes trying to convince people he can handle a gun? Amazing. Im so happy I live in Canada.

- RichardHertz


I by no means consider him a liability in any way, but thats because I dont know how he will handle the NHL. But to use the AHL as a measuring stick for the NHL wont give you accurate results. Far more skill on the NHL level. Time will tell, but I too expect big things from him.

Ironic that his appearance on Piers Morgan (which was originally to explain why he was trying to have Morgan deported lol) will probably convince even more people that gun control is needed.

He's a bag of poop preying off of peoples paranoia and fear. Dude makes tons off of his radio show and website, and yet rails against the 'capitalist globalist bankers' constantly. Only reason I would need a gun is to protect myself from people like him.

Very surprised on the timing of this. Guess they're hoping a new GM can make something happen and take advantage of the short season. Feel that Burke should have been given a chance...saying that...

DID YOU ORDER YOUR CHINESE FOOD, PIZZA AND CASES OF POP?!

DONT WAIT UNTIL THE LAST MINUTE. ORDER YOUR TAKE OUT 4 DAYS IN ADVANCE

- Gunslinger




Tonnes of pop here I picked up a burger bag at McDonalds, and two 50lb bags of potatoes at Dominion (Loblaws)

I'd imagine many Newfies will die from this

Seriously though, who keeps 5-6 garbage bags in their car at all times? There's nothing like a plastic bag to keep you warm if your car breaks down. Follow my advice... I'm here to save lives.

Nice move Clouts by putting Markström there.

How did i not think of him?

Still think Kreider should have been top 10 prospect on the list but thats just me.

kreider wins it. he's a beast

I will admit - after today's results I like the Leafs a tad more... not lots but a tad.
