The most valuable will be our centre depth, the most important will have to be our goaltending.

If the Leafs can’t outscore their goaltending I don’t think we can.

 

[CanadienShark]

Centres. Their LWs gave me some pause though.

 

[Xspyrit]

Didn't expect that. Had the feeling reading the boards recently that people in general would be higher on either LW or RW

 

[ZachaFlockaFlame]

Centers are what win you hockey games for the most part.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Went with LW, Tkachuk and DeBrincat are too much

Ottawa flexing with this poll.

 

[bobholly39]

voted LW

I think both Tkachuk and Debrincat have potential to be elite - and also both have potential to be....very much less than elite. I think how well they do individually will be closely linked to how well Ottawa does this year

Ottawa flexing with this poll.

They should. Hell of an off-season.

 

[JimmyApples]

I went with D. Chabot is a #1, Sanderson could be there soon, and Zub is really good.

 

[Northern Avs Fan]

Makes you realize Ottawa is going to be pretty good this year. Forward group is kinda ridiculous.

 

[Holymakinaw]

I think the Centres look good & have the most potential.

 

[Buck Naked]

Some truly exciting depth on that team.

 

[Sting]

Of all those players, Stutzle is the most likely to have a big leap in ability this coming year. If he isn't already the best Sens forward, I think that'll be apparently pretty fast. I'm saying the centers.

I think Pinto is really being slept on too. Before he went down to injuries, a lot of people thought his ceiling may be higher than Norris.

 

[Xspyrit]

I voted D-men because I think Chabot will take another step this year if he's finally surrounded by more talent/quality. I'm also very high on Sanderson and think he is the reason Ottawa will take the next step. He will change the whole dynamic

Well, he won't be alone and seriously if they didn't give away Connor Brown, RW should have been in the conversation too but Centers vs LWs is a close battle

 

[ReginKarlssonLehner]

Their C's.

Stutzle had 31 points in last 26 games.

Norris had 17 goals in his last 29 games.

Pinto was most impressive Senator during training camp and pre-season before injury.

Their C's.

The only one to trump it is the D trio. If Sanderson comes out swinging like previous star D prospects, their D is going to be nasty.

 

[Xspyrit]

This is really close for the first 3 IMO, but I'd rank it like that :

D-men
Centers
Left Wings
Right Wings
Goalies

Their C's.

Stutzle had 31 points in last 26 games.

Norris had 17 goals in his last 29 games.

Pinto was most impressive Senator during training camp and pre-season before injury.

Their C's.

The only one to trump it is the D trio. If Sanderson comes out swinging like previous star D prospects, their D is going to be nasty.

Or 47 goals in his last 91 games

It's not as great as 0.58 GPG in your sample size but still 0.52 Goals Per Game!
