1989/1990 Season Preview

1st-NYR
2nd-Det-Big Trade Larry Murphy for Theo Fleury. Nasty top line of Klima-Gretzky-Bellows-Murphy-Fetisov-Hasek. They have Belfour as well, need to trade him for attackers now, as only young Amonte and Gary Roberts in the systems
3rd-Bos Hawerchuk, Makararov and Bourque. Traded 1st rnd pick for old Kent Nilsson
4th-Pitt-Turgeon is a beast, now have Roy in net, Jiri Lala a decent winger
5-NJ-Ronning-Kurri-Coffeyand Joseph in net, They shouldn't have traded Roy.


Other teams of Interest

Edmonton(9)-their Robitaille-Hull-Lemieux top line is top three in this game with the Cournoyer/Redmond years and the Hull/Mikita combo. But no defence still. Not much in prospect pool either.

Washington (7)-Janney, Cicceralli, Fedorov Pivonka, Vaive, Stevens and Leetch. Casey in goal, this team i think will be up there this year.

Winnipeg(8)-Barraso, Macinnis Kurvers Blake, Larinov, Krutov, and
Roenick.

Calgary(21)-NO goalteender is the issue, but Zubov, Galley, Stevens, Carson Loob, young Bure, this team will suprise i expect.

NY Islanders (13)- Had the best draft players of recent years, they have Selanne Mogilny and Sundin! Bossy is still good, no def but Vanbiesbrouck in net, this should be great to see.


As for us Cloutier is still great, and Steen really stepped up last year, Cam Neely just can't seem to get it going, Damphousse and Modano to step up in minutes this year. Looking forward to seeing my line of Modano Brind'Amour and Linden play together for years to come. Lidstrom not ready yet, But Yves Racine looks solid he will share time with Olausson.
