Great article about Rinaldo i love this kid and hope he emerges to a 10-15 Goal per season guy. He had 3 goals in 32 games last season putting right around 8.5 if there was an 82 game season.
I think this coming season hinges on our third year guys (or juniors if you may) being able to make the jump to the next level of competition. This list includes Rinaldo in addition to guys like Couturier, B. Schenn, Read and even Gus. Voracek and Simmonds are two others who have already begun this transformation.
The lockout probably hurt the ability of these young players to mature and grow, but with a full season on the way after a long offseason, we should expect a lot of improvements this time around.
