So much depends on Rookies

[MCDevils]

Last year we were considered a SC favorite. We moved A LOT of veteran guys since then.

Langenbruner
Arnott
Rolston
White

This year we're going to have
Parise
JJ
Tendeby
Larsson
Palmieri
Henrique

I think we can all assume that Parise and Kovy healthy will score 80 combined goals, which is a huge start, but the young players are really going to need to step up. I'm not too worried though, they seem ready, but AGAIN, they're the key to the season IMO.

Agreed, we need Tedenby to take that next step and become a legit offensive threat. Also, not a rookie, but I think Clarkson is a big X Factor this season. We need him to contribute positively on offense. Taking stupid penalties is not what we need from him.

I'm trying to figure out how getting checked is a holding call...
