Waste???

Please read my above post, there are WAY more chances for the pick to be wasted by picking Galchenyuk than by picking Forsberg.

as long as you're sure.

I read that Galchenyuk was compared to Hossa skill wise and i have an hard time comparing Forsberg with Alfredsson since they are quite different physically. Where did you read that Forsberg is #2 overall talent? First time i hear it seriously.

He's #2/#3 on the ISS' list that regroups both Euros and NA players.

there are 693 different ranking systems out there. someone has him number 2. a month ago he wasnt top 5 anywhere i dont think.

For the record I think either would be a fine pick and am just being argumentative for the sake of it

Bergy just called me, he said he agrees with what i was saying on the forums.

He also said "who the (frank) calls himself muffin man anyway?!?".

There are a lot of rankings its true but the NHL's central and the ISS' are probably the biggest/most recognized ones.

They also put Grigorenko over Murray which makes me wonder how accurate their analysis are...by the way, i have nothing against Forsberg; he will be a good player but from what i've seen Galchenyuk has a lot more offensive upsides.

Galch is #4 on the NHL's NA players only draft list... That IS pretty low (all things relative, lol)­, puts him at 5th or 6th when you add in the euros.

Now tell me again how the habs should pick an injured #5 draftee with the #3 pick?

For the record i agree that both guys are good picks (they're top 5 after all) but my point still holds that Forsberg has the better ratio risk:reward.
