Like GSP in the UFC odds, our next prospect on the NHL draft board may offer the best power/speed combination of any forward on the list. Evander Kane, compared by scouts to Jarome Iginla (and, in my opinion, Jeff Carter), has a chance to be the NHL’s next great power foward.

He’s big enough to make an impact on the forecheck and he reportedly plays even bigger than his size, as he drives to the net fearlessly and is very hard to knock off the puck. He has sniper skills but is also defensively responsible, wanting to kill penalties play in all situations. He’s the kind of player who wants to be on the ice when the game’s on the line, and I’m betting management in Atlanta would relish the chance to draft him.

He’s not an absolute can’t miss prospect — big wingers rarely are — but he’s a promising youngster. It remains to be seen if he can make an impact at the sportsbook next season or if he needs to fill out more. If you make daily sports picks and follow the draft, Kane should be in your top five.
