Which one of these 4 will go down as the better NHL player when it's all said and done?
Which one would you rather have on your team right now?

The way Niskanen is playing this season being a rookie, and when most people thought that Matt should have finished college (i was one of those people) i think that he will have a very solid NHL career.

Gonna have to say Paul Martin. His mobility and athleticism make him a great defenseman. As he ages in the league, he'll settle into a prototypical player in the new NHL. Mobile, fast with great hands and great vision. Maybe not a perennial all star, but a very good player just the same.

well you said it best right there Martin will be a good solid player but Niskanen will be an all star in the league he looks amazing so far this year as a rookie and he is only going to get better as he develops. Also, Johnson i think will be a great player. I thought he had a terrible year at the U last year but he looks much better in the pro game and with his size and speed he will be a great player to come.

It's going to be Niskanen.
He needs to improve his coverage in front of the net and a bit defending two on one's, besides bulking up a bit more. Also he needs to get his shot on net a bit more.
He's been getting double shifted the last few weeks for the Stars in the 3rd period when they're up or down by a goal, or tied and has made very few mistakes over that stretch.
