The great Wayne Gretzky said that Anze Kopitar is the third best player in the world. Gretzky rated Kopitar behind only Sidney Crosby and Jonathan Toews, and that is quite heady territory for the Slovenian star. Kopitar led the playoffs in scoring with 26 and has been terrific for the Kings since they drafted him 11th overall in the 2005 draft, the same draft in which Crosby went first overall. Kopitar is a stud and deserves to be selected in the second or third round in traditional hockey pools.
