Who's Better Patrick Kane Or James Vanriemsdyk?

Question

Who is a better hockey player.. im a flyers fan and hoping the flyers didn't draft bad.

Answer 1

Patrick Kane as of this moment.

Answer 2

Patrick Kane is currently the better player.  At 19, he's already adjusting and learning what its like to play in the NHL.  Throw in the fact that he added 72 points his rookie season goes to show how offensively gifted he is.  There's a reason he went #1 last year and his Calder Trophy is further proof of that.

Still, as a Flyers fan, there shouldn't be a hint of doubt in Van Riemsdyk.  The kid is very talented and will be a solid forward for the Flyers in the future.  Even the Flyers think so that they asked him to go pro next year, but Van Riemsdyk felt he needed to be 100% ready, so he turned them down to refine his game at U. of New Hampshire.  His freshman year, he led his college to the top seed (before losing) and at the under 18 world juniors, he led the entire tournament in scoring!

Van Riemsdyk, Claude Giroux, and recently drafted Luca Sbisa are some solid prospects for the Flyers future!

Answer 3

listen to tdk.

PATRICK KANE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

also flyers picked well. i love sbisa, and i think reimsdeck will be a solid nhler.

also i love giroux. i keep thinking he's a maple leafs though...i think it's mostly just wishful thinking. the future is good for philly so i don't complain much about them. lol. even after the rj deal.

Answer 4

They are two very different types of players.  VanRiemsdyk's style of play, and skillset is better suited to Philadelphia than Chicago.  

VanRiemsdyk is committed to another year at UNH, and will probably play all 4 years there, so by the time Philly sees him, he will be an excellent player.
