So I am bored and figured I would start a thread to talk about the NHL, which is still a month away before pre-season starts.
Regress
Carey Price - don't overreact but I don't think he will be anywhere near as dominant as last year. He was at times god-like in his playing. I think he will easily be top 3 goalie.
Devan Dubnyk - he will return to middle of the road play and be shielded by an exceptional blueline.
Hope to see Improve
Andrew Hammond - I would love to see him become consistent and who can hate a guy with the nickname Hamburglar
Martin Jones - I liked him last year in his limited time, and I hope being on a new team that will get him some more time he will snag the starter job.
Want to see traded
John Gibson - guy is a starter already and showed it last season, but I would be really surprised to see him unseat Frederik Anderson.
Andrei Vasilevskiy - another guy who is ready to be a starter, but I wonder what the Lightning are going to do. Keep Bish or move on to Vasil.
Just want to point out this is not exhaustive, and I was just bored. Hopefully we can have some interesting discussions.
Regress Hammond Dubnyk Hammond got really lucky this year no way he follows up, and Dubnyk will be a starter but not an elite one Improve Really don't have an answer now, but some guys like Scrivens who iPad a career .915 save percentage should rebound from .890 last year. Also some other guys like Craig Anderson and Mike Smith should rebound as well. Traded John Gibson Only reason I didn't draft him was because he is in a weird goalie situation in Anahiem, but if he gets traded he should do well
