Mason Raymond. He’ll be awesome with the Sedin bros.

I THINK EVERYONE YOU GUYS MENTIONED IS CORRECT. ILL ADD A COUPLE
1 OLI JOKINEN,TANGUAY, IGINLA, ALL SHOULD HELP EACH OTHER GETTING WAY MORE POINTS THAN LAST SEASON.
2BLAKE WHEELER NUMBER 5 PICK OVERALL THAT HAS EXPERIENCE IN TWO FULL SEASONS, AND PLAYOFFS. BOTH SEASON AVERAGE 20G 20A,AND PLAYING ON ONE OF THREE BRUIN POTENT LINES COULD GET HIM A 60TO 65 POINT SEASON,IF HE GETS POWER PLAY TIME.
OH FIRST YEAR BREAKOUT SEASONS, NEVER MIND NUMBER 1, SO BLAKE WHEELER, AND BENOIT POULIET MONTREAL, FABIAN BRUNNSTROM DALLAS,NIKLAS BERGFORS AND BRYAN LITTLE ATLANTA. MANY MORE, BUT THESE GUYS HAVE WHAT IT TAKES, ITS ALL ABOUT TIME ON ICE TO GET BREAKOUT SEASON.

Nice pick on Jack Johnson, also from LA is Wayne Simmonds. With Frolov on the move, Simmonds will get better ice time.
Also for the east, either Michael Del Zotto or Artem Anisimov. I can see Anisimov working his way up to the top line with Gaborik since Dubinsky can’t keep it together and Drury isn’t enough of a playmaker for Marian.

I would also have to agree on Logan but numbers wise I think this will be Devin Setoguchi’s breakout year with him reaching 80 points this year, playing on a what will become the NHL’s best 2nd line with Pavs and Clowe. Can you imagine a team with this type of line and still having the Marleau, Thornton, Heatley line as your first line.

You know, the first person I thought of when I saw the original NHL.com headline was John Tavares.

I’m a little biased on this one, but Erik Karlsson in Ottawa. He had a rough start to his rookie year, getting demoted to the AHL and not scoring his first goal until December, but he really ramped it up at the end of the season and through the playoffs. He can pass amazingly well and was running the power play in March and April, plus now he has Sergei Gonchar as a mentor.
The kid is also clutch. Well over half his points were in the third period or overtime.
