19. Can't see how 60 seconds a game was the problem last year. The other 95% of their time told the story.

I don't care either way, but I really do expect the Twins to have massive bounce back seasons. If they don't, they are clearly done.

7. Brad Richards will NOT put up 50 points in Chicago and his speed will limit his effectiveness as the Hawks second line Center. However the Hawks will be fine.


He got 51 on a less talented team last year. He should get at least 40 assists alone if he is slotted between Kane & Saad or Sharp. Every chance to be the biggest off season bargain.

11) Chris Kunitz is the first 35 year old to score 40 goals(I think)

At least the 3rd. Messier did it the season he turned 35, Howe did it at 40.

Total homerism of course. Wouldnt expect anything else from you but id take one thing you said here a step further. I say AV is not only nominated but may win the jack Adams IF you guys have a good year. He was a big positive for the Rangers. Polarizing figure. I believe he had a lot to do with getting you guys out of that funk in the beginning of last year.
The one thing is a "good year" for you guys may mean winning the cup for some pundits due to the success of last season. I dont see that happening and no I dont want to get into a debate as to why.

Claude Giroux will be on pace for 65 goals, but his concentration will be dislodged after being charged with a cold case murder commited in East Buffalo in 2008. He will not be convicted, but he will be out of the league in three years.

You're a biased Rangers fan. Your opinion is worthless in this regard. Rangers could easily miss the playoffs this season too.
