1998/1999 Season Preview

1-Rangers
2-Calgary- They have best team on paper bar us 5* playes: Brodeur Bure Zubov Carlson Turgeon's, 4*- Lehtinen Straka Peva and Chelios
3-Montreal- Neely 33 started to slow down, they'll likely be top p10 not top5
4-Detroit-Gretzky will keep them up there but he's 37 now
5-Islanders- Stong team , but all approaching 30's now. No major additions either
6-Edmonton-Again Lindros/lemieux combo is good,but little depth or prospects. I'll be trading for their picks in the next 3/4 years.

Last season of the 90's, we've won 5 cups so far, can we add another. We've won 6 presidents throphies, only Calgary really is a threat this year, Detroit the only other team to match our numbers this decade with 2 Cups and 3 presidents. Edmonton bar 1990 avg 115 pts in the regular season for 3rd place.
