I like Mark Stone, but he can't hold Silfverberg's jock strap. Silfverberg is arguably the best forward in the SEL, a league dominated by veterans.

Well if he cant hold Silfverbergs jock strap.... Then what good is he? Thanks for the input Sentium, appreciate the reply. I also have a feeling that Silfverberg will be inducted into the right/name wrong name hall of fame very soon..

Haha, I hadn't even thought about that. Damn it!

I have both Stone and Silfverberg (and Petersson, another Ottawa winger prospect) on my keeper team and right now I view Stone as being on the bubble of being cut when I get some guys back from IR, while Silfverberg is one of my untouchables. Just one man's opinion, but that's how I value them right now.

Take off the Swedish bias and take a look at Silfverberg and Stone you have two guys who are putting up similar NHLE numbers in their respective leagues.

Silfverberg is also a year and a half older so you need to compare how these guys are doing in their leagues and in their development/age.

Then dock points off of Stone for the World Jr "small sample size" bias.

In the end it's pretty much a wash and personal preference between these guys. A lot of "I saw him good" enters here as well.

How would you rank:

Silverberg, Zibinijaad, Stown, Petersin, Larsen

Sentium, I'd appreciate your input, especially.

Then you put on the Ottawa management bias and it's a runaway victory for Silfverberg.

They are both Ottawa prospects so its a wash.

No, Ottawa is clearly more in favor of Silfverberg if you know dick about the organization.

Stop trolling.

I presented clear facts. Their NHLE based on production is very cloe, and basically identical based on their ages (when Silfverberg was Stone's age he produced less) and they have a clear age gap.

Silfverberg is Ottawa's best prospect at the moment. I think him and Stone are going to be NHLers for sure, and both guys' have improved a ton since being drafted. Both also similar in that their only weaknesses are their skating. I wouldn't bother trying to compare stats between the two as their leagues are completely different, and in the SEL a prospect's situation differs year by year. Many people think both can one day be star or impact forwards in the NHL. Edit: another similarity is that they both have size yet don't play a heavy physical game.

Also, just to point out, they are only 1 year apart in terms of "hockey age".
