NHL.com talked to players around the League to see who they think will be cutting down nets in at the completion of the tournament in Glendale, Arizona, on April 3.

Patrik Laine, Winnipeg Jets forward
Arizona Wildcats

"Arizona is going to win. They have the Finnish player (Lauri Markkanen) on their team. I don't know him, but I hear he is pretty good."

Jack Eichel, Buffalo Sabres forward
Duke Blue Devils

"I really liked how Duke finished in the ACC. I think that they're real strong. I watched Arizona play a couple times. I think they have a good team. Gonzaga's good. Villanova's good. I think it's probably going to be like a sleeper. I don't know. I'll take Duke, actually. I think they could win it."

Jon Merrill, New Jersey Devils defenseman
Duke Blue Devils

"I like Duke. Just the way they played in the ACC tournament to run the table like that, and win four in a row which had never been done before. Grayson Allen is playing well, coming off the bench. Jayson Tatum is finding a rhythm in his game. You can never bet against coach Mike Krzyzewski.

"I went to Michigan, but I don't really like their team this year. They're older but they don't have too much versatility in their lineup. They just seem to shoot the three-pointer, so if they run cold then they lose the game. That's not a recipe for success."
