Who is this years Hank Zetterberg?

Question

Is it Jesper Samuelson, Anders Lindback, Joe Gleason, or Mikhail Stefanovich?

Make your pick and give a reason for choice. Answer won't really be known for 5 years but who's your guess.

Answer 1

You said it best... can't tell....

but right now I'm likin Jesper... last pick and averaged over a point per game... I think teams will regret  not taking him.

Answer 2

Jesper Samuelsson will not be next years Zetterberg mainly because he will not play in the NHL next year.  He is signed for the 2008-2009 season to play with Timra in the Elitserien league.



If you mean who will be the next good goal scoring but still great defensive forward, than I will guess Mikkel Boedker if he makes the lineup for Phoenix.

Answer 3

This years Henrik Zetterberg is none other than Henrik Zetterberg,there can't and won't be another.

Answer 4

I have never seen or heard anything about any of these guys so Im going to have to trust Hakan Andersson and say Jesper Samuelson.  Taken with the last overall pick just like Jonathan Ericsson and from the same team too.

Answer 5

neither of those, i think it will be patrick kane, look at him now

Answer 6

I don't know, but it'll be somebody that the Wings picked.  Look at Holland's track record.  Holmstrom was 257th overall, Zetterberg was 210th overall, and Datsyuk was 171st overall.  And *that* was Detroit's top line this year.  Not to mention Draper, who they got for a dollar.  And Federov (who was good in Detroit), who they snuck in to the country so that he could play in the NHL.  And even Lidstrom was 53rd overall.  My guess is Jesper Samuelsson, partially because he's good, and partially because it would be awesome to see the last overall pick turn out to play with that caliber in the NHL.

Answer 7

Eric Karlsson because he will be an excellent hockey player one day soon. Lindback will go nowhere because he should not be fast enough. Samuelsson could be good.

Answer 8

You said it yourself. Answer won't be known for 5 years. There is really no way to predict such things.

Answer 9

I'm gonna take a guess and say Jesper Samuelson. When I looked at who the Wings had drafted and saw another Swede, the first thing that I thought was they have another Zetterberg. As a Leaf fan though, I am hoping it is Mikhail Stefanovich.

Answer 10

Jesper Samuelsson.. because he will be playing a system condusive to EURO hockey that he is accustomed to. The Wings also give their guys 3 proper years of training before moving them up into the NHL!

Answer 11

erik karlsson.

Answer 12

Samuelson cuz he plays very good know in detroit and will still be playing good hockey for years to come in detroit
