Last year the Ads were lead by forward Zach Hamill with 44 points (19G, 25A) and a +4.

While it's true that Hamill scored 44 points last year, he only scored 4 for the Admirals in 6 games and isn't even with the organization anymore (Vancouver/Utica).

The Admirals have a bunch of very young but very talented forwards including Kevin Henderson, Taylor Beck, Mark Van Guilder and Austin Watson.

While Beck and Watson are young, Van Guilder (29) and Henderson (27 in a couple months) are not.

Admirals were blessed to a three goalie tandum with Helberg, Jeremy Smith and Chet Pickard. However this season Pickard is playing Sweden and Jeremy Smith is now in Columbus’s system.

Pickard played in Sweden all season last year. Hasn't played a game with the Admirals since the 2010-11 season.

It is true that Scott Valentine is a D-man. However, he did play some wing last season. He was very effective at it. If I was Nashville, I might be tempted to change his position.

Bryan Rodney has one heck of a shot. Enjoy him.
