Hi
Who do you take if you have to select one of them ? Any info on these players will be appreciated. I'd like to know with who in NHL we can compare them.
Thank
Neat comparison.
I am a huge Sheppard fan. I love his game. Good size, solid skater (not incredible, but decent), GREAT on-ice vision, plays at all ends, and a good leader. I'm throwing a party if he falls to the Leafs.
Okposo, I used to be not very high on, but I'm warming to him. Can't say I'd be depressed with him being selected #13 either. Good skill and power potential. I'll have to see him at UMinn, however, to make a real judgement. He's certainly rawer than Sheppard is, but he could really suprise.
I really feel Okposo is a wild-card in this draft. I can see him going anywhere from the single digits to the late teens.
Sheppard will not make it out of the lottery. I'd put money on that.
