Ness or Leddy?
Last years Mr. Hockey versus this years. These two have very similiar resumes and both bright futures.
Who would you rather have at the blue line?
Lets hear it...

Puck the Sioux, Go Gophers.
I agree with Ness being better than Leddy, but I disagree with him proving it this year as a freshman at Minnesota. He has not impressed me this year and if he would have stayed and played his senior year at Roseau he could have taken the Rams to state and possibly been crowned Mr. Hockey again.wbmd wrote:Ness. He has proven it while playing as a freshman at Minnesota when he would actually only be a senior in high school. Much like Jordan Schroeder has.
He wouldn't have been Mr. Hockey again. Since the award is only for seniors, he never would have won it last year if he hadn't accelerated his studies.starmvp wrote:I agree with Ness being better than Leddy, but I disagree with him proving it this year as a freshman at Minnesota.

leddy
Leddy will be a better player than ness in college.
Ness was too timid this year. He should have played a year of juniors or not gone the accelerated route. A few years ago, lucia wanted older players that were bigger and stronger, but he aloowed ness to come and play defense in his first year.
Ness got the glory playing against kids his own age, In the wcha, 1st year freshman are not 17, they are 19 or 20.

You're right, they're not 17.... Ness has been 18 since May. So that'd make him nearly 19 now

better shot
I agree with the better shot part. Leddy is awesome.HockeyMN1 wrote:Leddy has more speed, more size, and a better shot. Leddy.
It will be interesting to see where Leddy goes in the draft as compared to where Ness was taken. I would be shocked if he wasn't taken in the first round.

Ness
Ness is maybe not as big or strong as leddy but Ness is a better all around skater and also alittle better hands. Not to take anything away from Leddy, hes a great player, but Ness has a strong feel for the game and thats the biggest reason he made the jump into the U so nicely this season when he should have still been in highschool.

My vote goes to Leddy. Ness is a very quick skater, however, Leddy is bigger and I think he may see the ice better. It wouldn't surprise me if Leddy is faster.
Leddy is very deceptive - similar to Broten or Crowley. They didn't look like they were moving on the ice, however, because of their skating ability was so fundamentally sound, they flew.

Add Alt and Helgeson as big boys and it appears to be a good mixture of D types in the future.
I believe the Gophers are only losing RJ Anderson after this season from the D side. Leddy and Helgeson are coming in. Will someone be pushed out or move to forward?

watch ness, then watch leddy. I have seen allot of both and Ness just jumps right off the page. This kid is unreal, he has that quick wit and shifty movement that ovechkin has. IMO, This would be a better argument if it was Ness vs. Gardiner.
In fairness to Leddy, he is an amazing player and I am so glad I get to see him on the gophers bench.
I should also note, these two are completely different in their style of play. We will know next year if Leddy is worth the hype (and I think he is).
