My Season Improved Teams Predictions

Hi guys this will be my 2015-2016 NHL season prediction.
Most improved: Buffalo Sabres, Edmonton Oilers, Florida Panthers, and La Kings. Buffalo is undergoing a new era with the signings of multiple allstar players. Jack Eichel the second pick in the 2015 draft will fit in well with this group. The center has size, speed , and skill. Another reason Buffalo will do good is because of the signings of Ryan O'Reilly, and Evander Kane. These are both experienced, and skilled players who will provide more goal scoring. Well Edmonton, it starts with one name, Connor McDavid. The first round pick in the 2015 draft has so much pressure, and expectations on him. He will play alongside Jordan Eberle, and Taylor Hall. He is said to be the greatest first round pick this century. And goaltending is said to be stronger because the Oilers aquired Cam Talbot. I think he will do very good with this team. I also think McDavid will help this team get off their losing slump. Florida has so much potential because of their young, and skilled group. I expect them to silence all odds this season. Jonathan Huberdeau, and Nick Bjugstad will lead this team to success. Another key component is their goaltender Roberto Luongo. This veteran goalie can backstop the team to victory with his saves. Los Angeles will be a team with size, depth, skill, and scoring next season. They have lost four players , but they have aquired many young, and skilled players who will fit in those lost roles. Colin Miller, and Nick Mersch have the biggest potential. Their goalie Johnny Quick will do great as usual. I expect the Kings do finish off 3rd, or in a wildcard spot.

My Hockey Blog

Well it is that time of year again, only twenty two days until hockey starts. This season will be a season like no other because of all the big impact players being traded. Below I am going to list players who will have a great season next year.
1. Phil Kessel(Pittsburgh Penguins)- Kessel who was traded from the Maple Leafs will play alongside   Sidney Crosby, who is the leagues best center. Kessel is expected to get 50 points on a line with Sidney Crosby, and David Perron.If Kessel does not succeed on that line he will play with Evgeni Malkin, and Patric Hornqvist. Kessel can score from almost anywhere on the ice.
2. Carl Hagelin(Anaheim Ducks) Hagelin was aquired from a trade with the NY Rangers. He is expected to play on the second line with Ryan Kesler, and Jakob Silverberg. In my opinion he will have a thirty goal season. His speed is a great tool in his toolbox.
3. Devan Dubnyk( Minnesota Wild) Dubnyk came in for the Wild while they were way out from a playoff birth. He got an outstanding thirty three wins, and twelve shutouts to help the Wild to the second wildcard sport. Many analysts think that Dubnyk will be even better next year.
4. Mike Green(Detroit Redwings) Green is a offensive defensman who can play the point really well. He spent the past few years with the Washington Capitals, until he was signed by the Redwings. He provides a big body, and scoring for his new team. Green is expected to play alongside Niklas Kronwall.
5. Connor McDavid( Edmonton Oilers) McDavid the first overall pick in the 2015 draft is expected to be on the NHL roster. This center has size,skill, and a scoring touch. He is said to be the greatest eighteen year old center the world has ever seen. I expect a 30 to 40 point season from this amazing rook.
