Powe is the Flyers version of Helm. Maybe not as fast, but still has some get up, even if he has no way of utilizing it for hockey purposes. Nodl won the team's fastest skater in the skills competition, and he showed it for the first time ever in a game on Thursday to win a race, get a shot off, and run over Fleury to set up the game tying PPG. Way to go, kid. BR says Carter is the fastest. Maybe not top speed, but he has top 5 accerlation in the league. 0-60 in 2 strides without even looking like he's trying to speed up. Very deceptive.

All things considered, I'd vote Nodl, and even though he's in the AHL with I believe the Thrashers organization, no fastest skater thread is complete without Jared Ross. I would say he's the fastest skater I've ever seen, but he's too fast to see. Too small, too.

Apparently right now on the Sens it is AHLer Colin Greening.

In reality there isn't really a faster skater, off the mark with the puck, than Erik Kalrsson.

I've LITERALLY never seen a 19 year old with that first step!! I hope his brain catches up!!

I would have to say Tyler Ennis. The guy may be small but he is a fast little fucker for sure.

I agree with this. Ennis is very shifty but he has some pretty good wheels too. He can move !

EDM has quite a few fast players. I would think Cogliano is the fastest, but I know Ryan Jones and Paajarvi can fly as well. Hall is damn quick, but I don't think he's the fastest.

Usually for the Penguins it's Crosby, but now with the injuries it's probably either Letang or Kennedy. Orpik's a strong skater as well, but you never see it.

Greg Mauldin until we sent him back to Cleveland

Kyle Cumiskey until he got injured

now? probably duchene, though before he sprained his ACL David Jones would be able to challenge (he hasn't been as fast this year...granted his hands got signficantly better)
