I love brayden schenn but hes gonna have a hard time getting solid powerplay minutes at the Center position in philly.

Homer pick: Brandon Kozun. Playing with Kopitar by the end of the year, 40 goals 30 assists 100 pts.

yah, you make a solid point there. Ill still leave the homer pick as is . RNH could have a shot if he cracks the lineup.

[bills09]

Homer pick is gonna stand with the reigning WHL defencemen of the year.

So much skill, tons of opportunity in Colorado.

my pre-season favourites for ROY:

1. Nino Niederreiter - looked good last year, knowing the gap and getting older should have him ready
2. Erik Gudbranson - was ready last year, now he's ready to be more then good
3. Luke Adam - AHL ROY after an explosion in WJC and 09 CHL, complete player.
4. Brayden Schenn - Insane WHL return, strong AHL, very projectable
5. Blake Geoffrion - Tough having him # 5 as IMO him and #8 Tangradi are physically above the average NHLers
6. Adam Larsson - will be put to the test
7. RNH - opportunity, opportunity, opportunity
8. Eric Tangradi size, opportunity and developed
9. Gabriel Landeskog - older then his year, and opportunity
10. Nazem Kadri - homer pick? but the skills sure is there, is he ready to compete and contribute night to night?

[bills09]

IMO Huberdeau and Bartschi are back in the chl this year.
especially Bartschi

[Nick]

IDK how RyJo wasn't on my list...


Rundblad I looked at as well, but I just haven't seen a) enough of him or b) back to back strong development years.

[Scott]

Johansen is my selection.

HM: Zack Kassian

[Robin Hood]

IMO Huberdeau and Bartschi are back in the chl this year.

Baertschi will easily make the team.

Hard to bet on this. They signed Bartschi for a reason IMO though. We'll see.

[bills09]

the leafs signed Jamie Devane before they needed too, means nothing.

[inferno31]

No Blum on any list? thats my darkhorse pick.

[Nick]

Hard to get toi there... Franson was sick as well Neel, but wasn't required much.
