27. Mike Richards- Richards was part of the very shocking bargain in Flyers history as he was traded away to the Los Angeles Kings. He had 66 points last season with the Flyers and he also racks up a good amount of penalty minutes (if your league is giving points for that category). Projection: 76 points.
Anze Kopitar- Anze Kopitar got 73 points last season and was a plus 25. This year, together with his new teammate Mike Richards there to give him help. I believe that the 23 year old center will have a breakout year. Projection: 87 points.
With the nhl 's recent cancellation of the Winter Classic, I examine the nhl lockout with respect to the other sports leagues and whether or not the proposed solutions will actually handle the League's financial issues.
Nobody can honestly say they saw the 3-0 series collapse coming, but looking back maybe it wasn't a total shock. Boston somehow made the postseason with the worst offense in the league, an ignoble accomplishment that has not been accomplished since the NHL expanded to 22 teams. That lack of offense finally caught up to them in Games 5 and 6 when they mustered only one aim.
9) The Devils are angelic - New Jersey certainly is not flashy, but they are quietly playing some of the best hockey in the league. They're 9-1-1 in their last 11 and have basically clinched their division already. More importantly for you covetous bettors on the market, the Devils have gone in a league best 64 percent of their games, including five of their last six. Read Alot more 's not a fluke, either. The defensive-minded Devils have allowed the fewest goals in the league, and have scored the third fewest, so their games will seldom feature offensive explosions and large overs. The team also has the worst record ATS in the league, so the Devils' opponents and the under is a good default bet in just about any situation if you don't feel like handicapping.
Add that on to the fact that Wallin has left the team this offseason and White is still unsigned, and the Sharks need to to add on to their defensive prospects for the future.
