[Mess]

Matthew stajan, Micheal Ryder,Patrice Bergeron,Trent Hunter,Vermette, Ryan Malone,Matthew Lombardi

These players make my list.

Matt Stajan ..played 1 game verses Ottawa at the very end of the season and scored a goal ...so that might eliminate him...

 

[RushingRocket]

Trent Hunter played 8 games last year, plus some playoff games...but still, guys like that should still be included, imo

 

[Newfie Bruin]

Matt Stajan ..played 1 game verses Ottawa at the very end of the season and scored a goal ...so that might eliminate him...

Same with Raycroft ....he has played a nice few before the season but this is his first full season.

Yeah ! Zidlicky was my first choice! He's definitly one the best player who played their first game this season.

Do you think that has anything to do with

Marek Zidlicky Defense .. Born Feb 3 1977

he will be turning 27 next week so its not as exciting as a youngster ..

People could mention Pierre Hedin but he to has played years in the SEL before joining the NHL..

 

[HockeyMan9]

I also forgot to mention Aaron Johnson and Tim Jackman for columbus.

Chris Simon

Truthfully it's the first time Simon has played in a couple of years
