king_malice 17 Report post Posted June 17, 2010 With all the trades that will be happening and also UFA/RFA signings who is going to be some teams that take it to the next level this upcoming season? in my opinion i think. :If the Canucks get Hamhuis like it has been rumored since the playoffs they could really step up, they have the forwards and a good goalie, it was there D that killed them in the playoffs, and not having Mitchell didnt make it any better :another team i think is the Kings they had a great season now with alot of people saying they are looking to bring in Kovy and Volchenkov. With the great D they already have, good scoring and a great young goalie adding in these two guys if it does happen will REALLY put the Kings on the map. :If the Wings stay healthy and with the addition of Hudler i think we will be right back near or at the top of the West again. any other teams?

hooon 1,089 Report post Posted June 18, 2010 I think the Kings will be about as good as they were this past season, with the added benefit of some experience and maybe a good free agent pickup. I'm excited to see what the lightening to do, they have a ton of talent on that team, I'll be curious to see if they can finally use some of it under Stevie's reign. I agree, the wings will be good, but they always are! I don't think the Aves or Yotes will have as good of seasons next year. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were saying on the radio that Halak's save% against Western Conf. teams is over .920. We'll see I guess. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
