Who is your guy's sleeper pick to become an all-star this year? (Yes, we have an all-star game again! So pumped) Not Crosby or Gaborik or Rask, but who do you think could come out of the woodwork?

I think Patric Hornqvist could do it. He's in Pittsburgh now, and working on that right side, he'll get playing time with Crosby, Kunitz, and Malkin. It'll be interesting to see who makes it though

I could see Johny Boychuck hitting 35 or 40 points as well as 15 goals being the point man on the Islanders.

Darcy kuemper

Victor hedman

hedman had his breakout year last year lol, what do you expect out of the guy this year, 100 points?


6.) 14 Oct 2014
I expect him to be on an all star team this year hopefully with 60+ points. He is leading the nhl in points right now with 7.

Simmonds will lead the league in goals, St Louis will win the selke and Keumper will the vezina is my prediction. I mean how can you argue that with how good their stats are right now?

CX what's your problem? Noone is saying that Hedman will continue to average more than 2 points per game from now on.
He will not even average anything close to 1 point per game, most likely. But if he ends up with 60 at seasons end, he is prolly top3 in d scoring and if he gets even better defensively, too, that is another breakout year for him. 2 in a row :)

^^^ Hedman is not much a sleeper IMO. If he's not on people's radar after last year, you weren't pay attention.

I will go off the board and say Mikkel Boedker.

@CX Actually Brock Nelson's going to lead the league in goals. He's tied with Crosby, that makes him a legend, right? Some people just get hot at the beginning of the season. If Brock Nelson's still at the same rate in 60 games, then we can talk about this. It's just too early to say some things right now.

Oh Boychucks sneaking up on Hedman now. Who reaches 100 points 1st?

Probably John Scott. HE SCORED


13.) 16 Oct 2014
Phaneufs got a couple of points to can't count him out

tb is 1 point out of 1st, but also 4 points ahead last, show how useless standings are this early in the season. you guys arguing over standings and player stats this early in the year is hilarious

Of course they are. Btw, noone mentioned standings, I think.
