Huberdeau has been primarily playing wing. Doubt he plays center this year, at least.

Upshall isn't the only question mark. Mueller is an injury waiting to happen as well.

Kovalev and Kostitsyn two massive pains in the clubhouse could poison this club, one of the genuine surprises of last season. No offense, but I wouldn't ant either one of them within a mile of a good hungry young club. Can you say Cancer in the clubhouse?

Disagree on Kovalev, but I think Svatos will have an impact and believe the Panthers will win the division and at least one playoff series this yr. Really liking Tallon, first the Hawks (who HE made into the cup winners) and now the Panthers.

He is a low-risk high reward if he gets over his injury problems he could be one of highest scorers on the team. And if not he is gone end of the season.

Do you remember where they had us last year it was about the same. Not saying we will make a big impact this season but I wouldn't count us out either.

Edit: not the mention they have the wild 20th

I don't agree with all the slots, but in general, they reward teams who are hot more so. I would put the Oil top 10 tho.
TSN is too conservative, and no matter how many times the Flames win or lose, they always stay 24-16 range.

Either way this season we make the playoffs great. we finish in the bottom this season get a great draft pick.

Success takes time so if we take a step back this year and then take two or three forward so be it. Next year we should have some of our other top picks coming in.

I think Florida will prove to be perennial playoff contenders. Therefore, no step back, but who knows.

Yes it was rumored he would be there but wasn't official yet. No big deal if he doesn't participate.

I already do I wanted him on the team last year he was the best player during camp and preseason. And he has just been a beast in juniors. I am glad they didn't rush him thou.

Kovalev got Sweet hands for sure and a great Wrist shot and thats about it.. The guy is pretty slow nowadays. He can really be good on the PP playing half wall on the right side he scored many goals for the habs that way and can make some pretty sick passes. But sometimes he goes and carries tu puck all the way and wil make some crazy moves to beat opponents and it always ends up flat. Hes way to slow to play that type of hockey. If hes used corectly he can still help and NHL team. thats on the PP and 3rd line minutes. He can be a game breaker too.

Devils lost when it counted. Kings embarrassed them so shut your mouth. It's a shame Florida draws more ppl than the devils do. I guess everyone in jersey would rather watch jersey shore re runs than their own hockey team.
