Katie Strang of ESPN held an online chat today...
Who will win the Connor McDavid sweepstakes and finish at the bottom this year?
Katie Strang I don't think it will be Buffalo. That team made significant strides. Don't see it being Calgary or Buffalo, either. Both teams have talented youngsters and solidified their goaltending. I'm really not sold on Ottawa this year, but that would be a pretty precipitous decline. Edmonton, perhaps? Shoot, even Arizona could really take a tumble if Mike Smith has a bad year.
Rebound year for Letang - is he arguably the most important piece for Pitt to make a deep run?
Katie Strang His performance is key, especially with the loss of Matt Niskanen and Brooks Orpik, but he'll have help along the blue line from Paul Martin and Christian Ehrhoff. Two most important pieces? Crosby, duh. And Marc-Andre Fleury. Quite the test with him entering the last year of his contract without an extension. Has to prove himself to earn that.
The most important question tonight:Who will win Lord Stanley?
Katie Strang Hard to pick against Chicago, but I like the Lightning as my sleeper team in the East.
