Who do you think has the most potential and bust potential of the players drafted.?

Question

Which player, now that we know where they went, will have the most problems and which one will succeed.

For me I have to go with either Stamkos just because of his amount of flash and lack of size/strength. Also, Luke Schenn and not because he dosen't have the talent, it's just because he could run into the big market/bad team expectations that plague some high draft picks.

Potential players look for Kirill Petrov if he happens to come over, which is a big if, he has the great size and speed to be a top winger.

Answer 1

You would think if Stamkos (6 foot 176 lbs) was too small it would have affected his ability in the OHL...it's funny how people who didn't get him think of him as a bust LOL....BTW Crosby is 5-11

As a bust, I see Zach Bogosian as his team doesn't have the scoring that might help him be attacked less, he has skill but I don't think he has 3rd pick skill.

I obviously think the OHL points leader Stamkos at age 18 will be great, however I will give another...Joe Colborne is a perfect fit for the Bruins and will add to their offense very nicely.

Answer 2

I think Drew Doughty will be a good one. Even if he is in LA. I think he could help turn that team around. Maybe he'll be the next Sidney Crosby or Alex Ovechkin.......Saves his team.

Answer 3

Potential - Corey Trivino.

Corey Trivino is a scoring machine and has excelled at both the Junior A challenge and at the under 18 championships. He may have dropped some in the draft due to him bypassing playing in the juniors and playing instead in Tier II hockey league.  Nevertheless, i feel the kid will only get better as he plays for Boston U. and then grow from there.  He will be a steal for the Islanders.

Very tough to say who would be a bust but if i had to, Joe Colborne.  For a guy his size, he is a bit soft physically.  Sometimes his work ethic doesn't seem to be there.  He has shown flashes of brillance and I honestly do think he can succeed down the road, but since i have to choose a bust, i'll go with him.

Answer 4

I would agree with you on bust potential and for potential look out of Eric Karlsson. He could be the next Tough little defenseman with some skill
