Here is what I see:
Shoot! has a liking to GPR.
Hckywst has a liking to Kline(who is by the way a very good goalie--Best?? Not sure about that)
Saucesauer-- has a liking to the East and GF especially.
Now--hockeyhigh has a seemingly unbiased view, has seen some hockey games(obviously) and has seen these kids play(against good teams and bad teams)..
Here is what I think(again my observations-opinions) and to let you know-- mine are additions to the Hockeyhigh listing(which I agree with mostly)
Best Goalie: (I'm undecided at this point)-- leaning on Arnason-GFRR and tie goes with kline-Mandan
Best Defenseman:adding in: Ladoucer-GFRR (more so than-J. Galbreath, RR, Sr. (Does all the little things right)
Best Winger: (good pick here)A. Hooey, FS, Sr. (I believe he's a Winger, put up some quality points this year)and last year.big Physical and I hear is probably going to play Fball in college(All-state LB)
Best Center: (agreed-- is tremendous player) E. Meland, RR, Sr. (Lots of points, seems like a very solid player with potential)
Best Playmaker:(agreed- -makes players better around him, from what I have seen) T. Groth, FS, Sr. (Saw him make some shifty plays and makes quality chances for his teamates)
Best Goal-scorer: E. Meland, RR, Sr. (Can't argue the amount of points this kid has put up)-
Best Defensive Offenseman: (Tough one to pick, I'll think of one later I suppose) Groth-FS, Moehagin-GPR are good picks, also add in seeburg-BHS
Best Offensive Defenseman: *****-- see the problem-- Laqdoucer is the best Off/Defmen-------A. Seeberg(is a F not a def-man, BHS, Sr. (Put up a good amount of points and seems to be a solid offensive defenseman)
Best All-Around Player: E. Meland, RR, Sr. (Haven't seen many other players in the state this year that have the credentials of Meland. Reminds me of Weisgarber from FS when they won state in 2005.)**(note-- he is the heir to the Mr. Hockey-- but one never knows who will get this-- he is outstanding though)
those are my thoughts- others may agree but this is unbiased
