Suzuki isn't getting enough love for how amazing of a season he had last year in my opinion. I do not always agree with award choices, but Suzuki was the absolute correct pick for the Selke. On a team that had few defensively aware forwards, he was elite defensively in all three zones and still managed 101 points deployed against the other teams' elites every night. Datsyuk and Fedorov level stuff.

Demidov had a great year for a 20-year old, and I do think he has some Fedorov in him as well. He will be an elite 2-way player in short order

Caufield is one of the best goal scorers I have ever seen, straight up. As long as he has Suzuki to prop him up at the other end of the ice, he will continue at a 40-50 goal pace. One of the few players I have seen that can have a bad game and score the big goal anyways.

Slafkovski is power forward that will get his slot game figured out and can drive to the net well. Still room to develop but I see nothing but up for him

After these four the rest are average third liners or lower. I still think Bolduc develops into a solid third line shutdown winger and I am aware that Montreal has Hage and a few others that can potentially move the needle soon but Anderson is very overrated and Evans is not even really a solid 3C let alone 2C, When Newhook got the green light to fly the zone in the playoffs he brought some surprise offence but I do not see that happening consistently in the future. Great coaching by St. Louis to get max from the lower lines but top heavy indeed.
