I’d actually say Cirelli. Jeannot’s acquisition cost was large but I think expectations are pretty reasonable for him. Cirelli is a great defensive center who is being paid like a great two-way center and with further losses to scoring depth he really needs to rediscover his offense; if he doesn’t the Bolts are in trouble.Jeannot
Drouin for the Avs. Now that Compher isn't on the team. Or Newhook.
I'm in shock that it's still Zacha at the 1C spot.. that won't work. I like Zacha and think he's a fine player but he's not a 1C. His peak (which he's hitting) would be a 1W and a 2C .. and that is assuming he keeps improving and builds on last year.if Zacha/Coyle don’t cut it I think Sweeney will get the blame more than the players. Heinen is always a favorite whipping boy, but I think Frederic is the answer. He will be counted on to drive the third line instead of being the third wheel on it. Unlike Zacha and especially Coyle this shouldn’t be asking too much from him so if he doesn’t deliver…
I'm amazed that Leaf fans didn't advocate for a "Trade Klingberg!" Thread pinned to the top of this page.Klingberg
Why would you include Kadri in that list?Brad Treliving
Huberdeau, Kadri, and Huska also inspire as much excitement as watching paint dry right now
Gonna be all the usual suspects starting with Garth all the way down to CapadesHorvat
Jeff Carter is going to get ripped to shreds by Penguins fans this year.
For the Rangers it will definitely be the Bread Man….
Panarin
I assume this is for playoff failures ?Rangers: Panarin
Ducks: Strome
I assume this is for playoff failures ?
He seems to be really good in the regular season, but disappears come playoff time, or am I missing something?

Fair, but I don’t think where he plays matters. He could be a healthy scratch most nights and the fan base will still crush him because of the contract Hextall signed him to.If he stays on the 4th like he’s expected to be it won’t be as bad.
My pick is Jarry
