Didn't expect Datsyuk to make it this far, but I don't think he should go past Ovie.

As good/consistent as Datsyuk is, Ovechkin is still a lock as a top 5 pick.

I wanna know how many of those Datsyuk votes are really votes for Datsyuk and not votes “against Ovechkin”.

This one isn't really fair either....Ovie is just too good to not take him in this one.

Ovechkin should be the winner of the pool for me so this is an easy pick for me. Ovechkin by a mile.

Little stat I looked up the other day, despite his lackluster season (by his standards) up until this point in there careers there are only 3 players in NHL HISTORY with more goals then Ovie, they are Gretzky, Lemieux and Bossy..

Exactly, I love Dats but he is 6 years older and has missed considerable time in the last 2 seasons and being 33 is that really going to change?
