Question

I know this is still far out but, Who will be the rookie of the year?

Answer 1

stamkos he was the best draft pick avabile and he has skills

Answer 2

Stamkos

Answer 3

Kyle Turris- I believe that the year in the AHL that a guy like Stamkos didnt have will give him more experience and make it easier to adjust to the speed of the NHL game.

Okposo is another sleeper (although he doesnt have much help on the ISLES... but they are counting on him to be the future so he will play with the better of his team-mates this season)

Answer 4

I would go with everyone else and say Stamkos.I'm sure the Mullet is praying he doesn't have another Daigle or Brian Roberts on his team.

Answer 5

Stamkos just because he has great players around him now that Tampa Bay got all of these good offensive players and he has talent. This situation is kind of like last year with Nikolas Backstrom where he was playing with Ovechkin so his stats may have been a little better than they would have if he was on a different team, even though he didn't win it. Stamkos will win it.

Answer 6

From way out in left field. Watch out for Justin Azevedo of the LA Kings. He has more to prove than any other rookie and the skill to do it.

Answer 7

It always seems to belong to the number one pick in the previous draft unless someone else takes it away from him. It's Stamkos' honour for now. Turris could take it away, but I don't think it will happen. Stamokos is a much more physical player and better defensively where Turris looks like hockey's answer to Carl Crawford, speed to waste. Both of them can fill the net in a hurry. IMO, the guys who vote for this will handycap Turris for his year in the minors.
