And I thought Loktionov looked good towards the end of his stint but then LA demoted him after the Carter trade, never know if he gets another chance.
I love Lokti. He should be the Kings 3rd line center next year. Will most likely be flanked by Dwight King and then a RWer and it's anyones guess who that will be (prospect/FA/Lewis/Richardson/trade).
Also for the Kings, Slava Voynov should have a great year seeing top 4 minutes all year and possibly top unit PP time.
Lars Eller- 20goal, 50pts would not surprise me at all next season
Y.Weber- wether he sticks in montreal, or gets moved elsewhere, if he gets a legit opportunity with a coach who is willing to take the good with the bad, I see a 35+pt season coming from him
L.Leblanc- will be a sophmore, but with habs top-6 a ?, he could earn himself a spot and break out with a 40-50pt season
Eller i can see having a break out season hoping for a 25 25 season next year, but i think Leblanc needs another year to round his game out a little more.
Yea that's definitely possible. Maybe have a year like Pacioretty did last year, spend the first half in the AHL and then get called up mid-way through if we have injury problems or are struggling.
Might be a little bit bias but I think Nuge will really breakout. He will be more prepared and I think he breaks out kind of like how Eberle did this year. Not so sure about Hall yet. Depends on how he recovers from his injury but if he comes back fully healthy he might do it as well. Others players that I think will breakout or bounce back, JVR, Duchene, Doughty, Hemsky and Carter.
