This years crop of NHL Rookies, while not as high powered as last years group, should be a dynamic group of talent. The following is a list of the 5 possible top rookie candidates at Forward.
Evgeni Malkin - Pittsburgh: Highly skilled Russian is the early favourite for rookie of the year. Could be as talented as Alex Ovechkin.
Rob Schremp - Edmonton: High scoring OHL allstar. The question isnt about his talent, it is about his attitude.
Patrick O'Sullivan - L.A: Like Team USA teammate Schremp, Sullivan is extremly talented player who really came into his own in the AHL last year. Because of a very rough childhood, the only question about Sullivan is his mental makeup.
Gilbert Brule - Columbus: Plays Much bigger then his 5'10, 175 pound frame. A dynamic scorer in the WHL and proved in his brief time with Columbus last year that he can handle the size and speed of the NHL.
Wojtek Wolski - Colorado: Could play a top 6 role on a Colorado Team that does not have the offensive depth of a few years ago.
