They've put together at the very least a competent group of forwards and for the first time in 2 1/2 years are actually icing a roster with the intent to win games.

If he struggles in the pre season i bet they don't think twice about sending him to rochester.

Youre right but think he should be ready and playing, if he gets sent down ill be abit let down on him especially when id bet Sam Bennett wins the calder.... but of course he has a much better supporting cast right now

I think he will make the team, but id like it to be on a blow everyone out of the water basis. He looked pretty good in his 3 games for rochester at the end of last season, id like to see him be consistently really good there for 20-30 games before being in the NHL and having the inevitable off nights.

Whats your list of rookies in the east?

Interesting pick, he needs to stay healthy.

Mcdavid is gonna get tons of opportunity to score points and im sure he will, its obviously the easy pick but id say the probable one too.

I don't think anyone touches mcdavid. the points hill get playing on that powerplay alone will be enough to put distance between him and whoever is 2nd.

I liked what i saw from reinhart at the prospect scrimmage but that doesn't really tell you much. I think the key for him is if can keep up with the nhl players, literally.

overall off the top of my head who should be a head of him
Bennett domi paranin zacha nylader overall

Thinking who will be around the best talent around

Bennett will be top 6 easily with good talent
Domi may get a crack at top 3
Paranin may be top line if Kane gets a suspension either way top 6 on a godo line
Zacha will get every shot at top line mins
Nylander should be at the top as well.

if I go though each team Im sure ill pull out a ton more

Will be tough but you don't know that the chemistry will be there right away, this is where Bennett gets a good fresh start with guys he played with in the playoffs

Agreed on your part about mcdavid. He will score and it wont matter what else he does or doesnt do well or what the team does.

Didnt nuge win? at the least he scored a ton in his rookie campaign.

Good list btw, i think its a little much a longshot for zacha, unless is is really that good.

did terravinan (spell) play too many games in chicago last season to still be considered a rookie?

edit: yup he played 34 last year

true, but he's not your typical 1st overall pick. If he's as good as they say, he'll take this award with ease.

Antonio Brown was a completely different story last year lol
- CoHo_to_B-Lo

How so? Browns prior years stats were 110 receptions, 1499 yards, and 8 TDs which is better than Kelvin last year who had 73 receptions, 1008 yards, and 9 TDs.... lol

Brown was going mostly in the 3rd and 4th last year. Same as Kelvin this year. You seem to be under the impression that last year was Browns only good year...
