Pre-Season Power Rankings
« on: January 17, 2013, 02:25:21 PM »
1. :CHI-NHL: - The Champs have one year out remaining on key players to defend their title
2. :EDM: - I like what I see and team hasn't changed much from last season except age
3. :MON-NHL: - Solid contributors at all positions, dependent on Smith having another good year
4. :PHI-NHL: - This ranking depends on the contributions of Theodore and Neuvirth
5. :VAN: - What happens if Luongo is actually traded to Philly, Bryz could be bought out, otherwise a solid lineup
6. :NAS: - Could have 3 starting goalies this season
7. :BOS-NHL: - Needs to land a defensemen or two to field a full lineup but solid
8. :ANA: - Benn needs to sign soon or the Ducks are in tough at LW
9. :PIT-NHL: - One more year out of Brodeur should make the Pens not a bottom feeder
10. :OTT: - Schneider is a starter! The young guns could come out firing this season
11. :DET-NHL: - Ovie and Crosby will carry this team and could be better than this ranking
12. :CLS: - Will Elliott or Halak start, this effects where the Jackets end up
13. :WIN: - Young guys need to fire for the Jets to make waves this season
14. :CLG: - Core of Spezza/Ryan/Vanek/Yaku isn't bad
15. :MIN-NHL: - Crawford as the only starter caused this low ranking, center positon is strong but expensive
16. :DAL-NHL: - Will they put up a fight? Yes. Will it be successful? I have my doubts
17. :NYR: - Completely retooling the team to get younger, minor league team is developing into a strong future
18. :TOR-NHL: - No starter due to Thomas going crazy, rest of lineup average and minor league depleted. winter has his work cut out for him this season

I think this league has great parity. Other than a couple teams, I see there being a dog fight every night and games being very close and anyone can win. Everyone will be gunning to take down the Blackhawks due to them winning last year and fielding a solid team this year as well. I see some teams (depending on play) surprising us as well. There will be injuries this season that come into play as well that could change a team's season, especially in this shortened season.

Everyone should be looking to get about 6-7 wins to get into the playoffs and I see a perfect record of 11-0 taking the President trophy and we may possibly have multiple perfect seasons.

So this is my official welcome to the league. I wish everyone a good season but in the end you will all hail to your commissioner as the league champ!

No Chicago is the team to beat because of it but they appear to also have the best roster, I think as well. 3 starting goalies and possibly guaranteed all Ottawa's starts and they are also solid at each position with Tavares/Stepan/Bergeron at center, Pac/Burrows on LW, Kessel/Brown on RW, and Seabrook/Kronwall/Gio on defense

  • Daddy: Its always better for the site to have at least 2 leagues for each sport. However @Jon i understand the decision.
    April 21, 2024, 01:53:02 PM
  • Daddy: Fantrax fees do get expensive. Its like $110-$120 per league per year and when its all out of your own pocket and you do most of the work, its hard to find value in that.
