1997/1998 Season Preview

1-Rangers- Palffy and Yashin i want to turn into 100 point scorers, with koavlev Demitra and Sanderson getting mroe ice time. Brind'Amour and Linden off power play and onto 3rd line. my top 3 lines all get 18 mins each though, so they'll still have plenty of ice time.

2-Calgary-Brodeur in net, Zubov Chelios in D, Carson Bure, Turgeon btothers Straka Sullivan Lehtinen and Pece is a well well balanced team!

3-Detroit-Gretzky.Hasek Hull well into their 30's am trading for their draft picks in a years time

4-Montreal-Neely, Allison, Reechi Iafrate Gonchar Boyle and Richter.(mainly due to the fact i gave them three of those players for Blake!)

5-NY Islanders- Mogilny(6)-Selanne(7) are best combo in league, only Jagr(3) and Hull(4) are rated better than them on the wings Top 2 are Gretkzy and Lemieux, Richter is 5th!, whilst Kariya Sakic and Modano round out top 10. Islanders still have Shanahan Sundin, Suter, Duchesne, but Irbe and Vanviesbrouck are both 2 star goalies.

6-Defending Champs Oilers-Kolzig in goal is a nice upgrade, they traded sundstrom to the Avs for him. but this is all about the Lemieux-Francis-Lindros power trio. Stillman and Claude Lemieux help fill out the top 6, Jeff Brown is past his best on D though.

7-Stars, i still don't rate them, despite two erxcellent seasons, lets see if Fleury and Hogue can keep producing that magic! I have a draft pick of theirs for next year that says they can't!

Florida Panthers are team to look our for Datysuk and Thorton are young players on their team, they'll be good in a while
