99/00 Season Preview
1 Rangers-Still way ahead of the pack. We have 3 top 10 c's, 3 top 5 lw's, and 1 top 5 rw. We have the 4 fo the top 5 def, Lids-Blake-Pronger, then Zubov for Calgary then niedermayer. Khabibulin 5th best GT, Richter top.
2-Calgary can they get past Edmonton this year? Still stacked but Bure, Turgeon Zubov 28 and above.
3-Montreal-Only broken 100 points once in last 10 years. with Amonte instead of boyle, should probably do that this year.(richter, reechi, neely, goncxhar, allison, markov)
4-Detroit, Gretzky 38, Hull35, Hasek 34, Gretzky still top player in the league though. They should fall off soon.
5-Edmonton. Lemieux anbd Lindros as ever. Very little else though except for Kolzig in goal.
6-NY Islanders, they'be been second best team in league, but Shanhan , Selanne Mogilny and Sundin all 29 and over, only have a few years left.
7-Buffalo, Kariya and Forsberg, with 5 4 star players supporting should make a little noise.
Teams to watch out for
Colorado, Hossa Samsonov and Savard coming through with Steve Yzerman and Richer the elder statsemn
Florida-Datysuk, Thornton, Heatley Zetterberg, Souray
Anaheim-Iginla Bertuzzi Doan . Love that top line!
Again we should romp this, maybe Edmonton Calgary or Detroit can win the sc against us, no one else should have a chance. Would be a big shock if another from the east knocks us out.
