Answer 5

as much as i just want to hate on josh godfrey because i know he's the nephew of mr. godfrey, i can't. so i'll just say the caps have a bright future.

i think the LA defence will be the better of the whole group.

and to the top answerer guy funny answer.

teal town's answer is also really good...i meant about the hawks. i agree. and st. louis has a birght future with their youngsters.

and just so we're all clear, we know it's not the toronto maple leafs.

Answer 6

Red wings Chelios, Lidstrom JK JK LOL

Hopefully the Sharks with Carle, Vlasic and the 40 year old wonder Sandis Ozolinch

Answer 7

Obviously it is the Chicago Blackhawks!  I mean with Patrick Kane who just won the Calder and Jonathan Toews who is amazing as well but was out part of the year with and injury.  Also with guys like Duncan Keith, Patrick Sharp, Adam Burish, Dustin Byfuglien, they will definatley be one of the top teams next season.  GO BLACKHAWKS!!

Answer 14

It's HOMER time.

The Rangers with Staal, Del Zotto, and Girardi!!!!

Ha ha, they are all impressive, I'll give the early edge to LA.

Answer 15

St. Louis

Strengths: Going into the 2007-08 season, the best prospect in the NHL in Erik Johnson broke training camp firmly established on the NHL roster. But the defensive pool does not stop with Johnson as Ian Cole headlines the second tier of defensive prospects, each with legitimate NHL potential. Even with the graduation of Hannu Toivonen, the Blues can look to Marek Schwarz as a future NHL starter who could eventually surpass Toivonen in net. The forward corps contains both high-end talent, in skilled centers T.J. Oshie and Patrik Berglund and play-making wingers David Perron and Lars Eller, and depth as their second tier is packed with forwards of second line potential that, if only a couple out of the pack reach their full potential, the Blues will have a mostly homegrown second and third line in addition to their top stars. Weaknesses: Weaknesses are difficult to come by when you are at the top of the list. While the forwards are skilled and deep, they lack that one true franchise forward. Top five prospects: 1. Erik Johnson (D), 2. T.J. Oshie (C), 3. Marek Schwarz (G), 4. Patrik Berglund (C), 5. Lars Eller (LW). Key graduates: David Backes and Hannu Toivonen.

Answer 16

Wings- Kronwall, Stuart(hopefully), Lebda, Quincy, Ericsson
