I'm going to lump mine into better, worse, and the same.
BETTER
Haula
Kuemper
Scandella
Graovac- I mean, 3 points?
Parise
Pulkkinen- kind of a longshot
Tuch- even a couple of points in the NHL would be an improvement.
WORSE
Staal- unsustainable, though he looks really good.
Granlund- above
Dubnyk- not a big fall off, just a bit.
Zucker- playing way over his career highs. Has never been this healthy.
Schroeder- see Staal. Would love it if he found a home in the NHL.
SAME
Coyle
Nino- could be in the BETTER section if he is moved to the Staal line where he belongs.
Koivu- hopefully
All the Dmen except Scandella. They all look comfortable, and are playing within themselves. Barring injuries I see them continuing to show that they are the best D unit in the NHL.
Pominville- would give him 36 pts. on the year...that's about right. For all that we complain about him, he's a good third liner.
