Assuming they all eventually join the NHL, who will be the most talented of these future stars? |

Patrick Kane looks to have a very bright future in the NHL.He is a very talented skater as well as a gifted goal scorer. |

It's true Luc Robitaille got picked in the 9th round so people though he wouldn't do anything in the NHL and look at what he did. And Patrik Steffan was a first overall pick and he hasn't really accomplished much in the NHL, well he did miss the net on a easy empty net goal and Edmonton turned it back and Hemsky scored, he accomplished the biggest mistake of the year. |

And that proves what in the NHL??
I'll give you proof. If you look back on the draft from 1997 to 2004, 26 players picked in the top 10 never amounted to anything at all in the league. That is 1 out of 3 in the top 10.
What happened in juniors means absolutely nothing in the NHL.
Draft picks are a educated shot in the dark and 1/3 in the top 10 are a total bust.
There is no way to say, outside of a Crosby or Ovechkin type player, that a guy will do anything in the NHL.

It's the information age--I'm sure you can find stuff on NHL.com or Google about their rankings and stats in previous leagues. |

Esposito was the best sleeper, teams didn't want to pick him because of his lazy work ethic but playing with Crosby should help him out a lot. I think Pat Kane will be the best though, he'll be playing with Toews and once he gets some more muscle and maybe grows a couple inches he could be a real dominant player. |

I think Kyle Turris is gonna turn out to be the best player out of that list. He's a good tough Canadian boy who will flurish under the great ones guideance. Its also gonna be fun to see Esposito with Crosby, Stall, and Malkin. Pens are gonna dominate in a couple years!!!!! |
