What rookie will have the greatest impact to their team?

Question

Stamkos (Tampa Bay) Center... He will be centering the 2nd line most likely with Malone Stamkos Vrbata/Recchi. Hes going to be the #2 center behind Lecavalier. I dont think he will be getting much PP time until the 2nd unit. So i dont see him making a lot of pts this year

Doughty (LA Kings) Defence... Hes ready to make the jump to the NHL. Will be the #2-4 D-man in LA. Will be on the PP, big shot

Bogosian (Atlanta Thrashers) Defence... they need all the help they can get on the back end.

Pietrangelo (St. Louis Blues) Defence... he can be a hit or miss on the blues line up.

Schenn (Toronto Maple Leafs) Defence... huge d-man. Will shutdown players in tight to the net. Stay at home defence, lacks the offensive output

Filitov (Columbus Blue Jackets) Left Wing... Columbus is in some need of some help for Nash, but Filitov is also LF, and with recent LF pickups in Torres, Huseluis. Too me he seems to small and fragile to play this year in the NHL, might be a few years

Answer 1

Filitov will most likely. Top lines will go out against Nash leaving Filitov to be in his glory most likely. He is however, European, so he may be softer then North American players like Stamkos

Answer 2

Filatov will likely be playing for the Sudbury Wolves in the OHL, i'd vote for Doughty for biggest impact

Answer 3

Stamkos. he gives that franchise hope.

Answer 4

I think you missed Turris on Phoenix. I think he will be the 2nd best rookie next to Stamkos.

Answer 5

-Ericsson if the Wings bring him up! 6'5 great skater that plays D..very phyical bruising hitter,  willing to fight and not bad at it.... 102mph one timer! Lets just say he will go BOOM on Pronger very once he gets up to Detroit. I have heard DET is considering carrying him this year cause it eliminates the need to dress McCarty or Downey...

-Turris.. you got to figure he will play with  some combo with a couple of these players.... Doan, Olli, Mueller, Reinprecht, thus he will have decent numbers

-Okposo... Will have to carry the team on his back... face it, the ISLES dont have much offense and he will have to get it done

Answer 6

I think Filitov in Columbus will have the greatest effect on his team, he will be a great edition to Nash.
