magnus paarjavi had better stats in the SEL than nylander..........crushes him. so i guess nylander is headed for 4th line/AHL duties.

come on now, we all know that any thread that prominently features prock and dopps has ZERO logic.

He had a near identical PPG pace to little willy during his draft year.

I would go with Leafs for now but Ottawa have some nice prospects so in 2-3 years I might have a different tune.

excepth that PRV kept it up for 50 games, not only 22. he also managed to play in the elite league as a 16 year old, the entire year as a 17 year old and 18 year old. besides, the original point of the post was that being successful in the SEL as a 17 year old doesn't mean much......PRV is a prime example. he also had the benefit of being physically mature when he arrived in the NHL

Younger players tend to get better over time as they adjust to a higher level of play, not worse. Not really a good argument.

i would actually say the tier 1 SEL is comparable to the AHL, which means the tier 2 would be the ECHL.

either way, it's difficult to compare leagues. but prock dismissing lazar, while claiming that nylander is the next coming wayne gretzky seems pretty ridiculous.

- sensarmy_11

You said it's the ECHL of Sweden. Don't backtrack.

Nobody's dismissing Lazar, or saying Nylander is the next Gretzky. We're just saying Nylander's a better prospect.

Lazar is slightly ahead of Leivo stats-wise, and you don't see Leafs fans freaking out about him. We're hoping he can fit into a 2nd/3rd line spot. Pretty much what the expectations of Lazar should be.

Sounds about right.

But Sens fans are hyping Lazar like he's some sort of Gretzky lite.

Truthfully, Bolland is a pretty comparison. Bolland obviously was much more capable offensively though.

So you found an example of a similar player who became a bust. How many examples of busts are there with similar stat lines to Lazar?

In any case, Edmonton has been pretty awful at developing guys, opting to rush them in well before they're ready. Toronto learned their lesson with Schenn.

The guy your team is going to draft in round 1 next year SUCKS! See you in 6 or 7 years when maybe I can be proven right or wrong.

What are we even arguing about anymore, guys?

you do realize that a majority of hte players in the WHL are 18/19/20 right, not 16/17.

there are probably more NHL drafted players in the WHL then there are in tier 1 SEL.

what's the difference between playing against a 19/20 year old kid who's good enough to get drafted in the NHL vs playing against a 27 year old who was never good enough to even get a sniff. does being 7 years older, but less talented make it a harder league to play in?

If you say so.

This thread is ridiculous:

- Prock and doppleganger might be the two most uneducated homers on the internet.

- neither team is good right now, neither team really improved in the offseason.

- lazar and nylander are both high end prospects, with one having a little more potential offensive upside, while the other seems to possess a much more rounded game. both will be top six players, neither will be an elite "franchise" type player.

the vast majority of the CHL is guys who'll either never play pro hockey, or wind up as lower-league fodder... You really can't think it's a better league than the SEL

good post. i think you can find plenty of examples of players who had similar stats to both Nylander and Lazar who turned out to be busts. At the same time, you could find plenty of examples of guys with similar numbers who turned into great players.

I think both guys will be excellent, albeit very different players. I think both will be productive top six players.

Neither Lazar nor Nylander will stick with their respective NHL team this season. One or both may get less than 10 games before being sent down.

While I doubt he plays, I don't think the 9 game rule applies to Nylander.

It doesn't. He can play anywhere he wants. CHL, SEL, AHL, NHL. Since he's already played with men it wouldn't make sense to join Lazar playing with boys in the CHL. AHL or SEL would make the most sense.
