Phil Kessel = WOW!!!!

[JetLi]

If the Caps can get both Crosby and Kessel they should build a fine line with Ovechkin!

The only redeeming thought to this happening is history shows the Caps mgmt will screw it up somehow...

The town of washington and the Caps management don't deserve Ovechkin, let alone any more good prospects. Don't take this comment personally, but I had to say this.

You and your sister could build a fine line with any one of those three!

While the chances exist, due to the lottery, it is highy unlikely the same team will end up with the first overall for three years straight.

Wow, the guy scored 3 goals and all of a sudden he's the #1 overall pick...

If he gets a bad tourney next year, what will you people say?

Kessel is gonna be a good one but Frolik and Joensuu have a lot of talent too. Comparing him to Crosby and Ovechkin right now is premature, IMO.

Michael Frolik is a much better player than Kessel.

Consider that he's also a year younger... the guy's a stud.

I think I read something about Fritsche having a touch of the flu. Does anyone know for sure if that is what kept Borer out for the two losses?

ESPN said Borer was suffering with the flu and Fritsche had it too but he was able to play.

Thanks, I think Borer having the flu hurt the USA really bad.

True, and Robbie Earl and Alex Steen are better, too.

I do think Frolik is a better prospect, but Joensuu hasn't shown much of anything.

Borer's been their most solid defenseman besides Suter. He's been excellent in the games he's played in.

I second that.

Let's not forget Dmitri Vorobiev who's a much better prospect than any other defenceman in the 2004 draft.
