After whispers his reign had ended, Crosby regained his
superstar form to reclaim the Cup – and his crown as
king of the hockey world BY RYAN KENNEDY
IT BOGGLES THE MIND to think about what Sidney Crosby may have been ca
pable of had Mike Sullivan coached Pittsburgh all season long Before Sulli
van became the main man behind the bench Crosby was in the midst of the
worst offensive slump of his career with just six goals and points in
games But once Sullivan took over for the deposed Mike Johnston Crosby

Crosby hoisting his second Stanley Cup with a Conn Smythe Trophy on
the side for good measure while reclaiming his crown as the best player
on the planet
Not only is he tremendously skilled and a leader but Crosby represents
everything that results in success in today s N(L (e is strong on both sides
ǡϐǤ
So what does Crosby do for an encore Well back to back titles hasn t
been done since Detroit in Teams will measure themselves
against us and will be at their best because of the fact we won last year he
said We have to understand that as challenging as it was to win it is even

And he s having fun right now Once again Crosby held his hockey camp

course even the best player in the world was working on his game Speed

So a faster Crosby who shoots more That doesn t bode well for the

ʹͲͳ͸Ǧͳ͹Ǥ

TOP
01|SIDNEY CROSBY PITTSBURGH | C | LAST YEAR: 4

He can play the game any way you need him to – and fast. Crosby was the Conn Smythe winner for 04
the Stanley Cup champion Penguins, turning in a beautiful two-way performance that stifled San
Jose’s top guns and restored him to the league’s throne.
02|PATRICK KANE CHICAGO | RW | LAST YEAR: 11
PREVIOUS PAGE: CROSBY: DAVE SANDFORD/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, PRICE: FRANCOIS LACASSE/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, DOUGHTY: JEFF VINNICK/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, KANE: JONATHAN KOZUB/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES,
Consider him a harbinger for the near future: a quick and agile ofensive force who doesn’t need size
to get the job done. Kane ran away with the scoring title and helped Artemi Panarin figure out the
NHL quick enough to nab the Calder Trophy. Kane has moves other NHLers love to watch.
03|CAREY PRICE MONTREAL | G | LAST YEAR: 1

With him, the Habs were a deep playof threat. Without him, they were in deep trouble. While Price
can’t win a Cup by himself, he could probably come close. And with a clean bill of health, he will
re-stake his claim as the best goaltender in the world. Size and incredible poise are his calling cards.
04|JAMIE BENN DALLAS | LW | LAST YEAR: 12

If you want old-school power hockey, Benn is your flag-bearer. On a souped-up Stars team, he leads
the way along with his superb center, Tyler Seguin. But Benn’s physical nastiness and ability to
steamroll his way to the net make him the No. 1 option in Dallas (and he’s got the ‘C’ to prove it).
05|JONATHAN TOEWS CHICAGO | C | LAST YEAR: 2

He plays against top lines and still finds time to put up solid ofensive numbers. Toews may not reach
80 points, but keeping opponents at bay while Kane does damage will suice. Toews was also the
NHL’s best faceof man (58.6 win percentage) and a demon on the PK with four shorthanded goals.
06|DREW DOUGHTY LOS ANGELES | D | LAST YEAR: 8

A deserved Norris Trophy winner, Doughty does everything and he does it all well. From great pos-
session numbers to ofensive contributions, while averaging more than 28 minutes of ice time per
game, he is the total package. Not only is he mobile, but he’s physically punishing, too.
07|ANZE KOPITAR LOS ANGELES | C | LAST YEAR: 13

His first Selke Trophy was validation that the two-time Stanley Cup winner definitely deserved.
Kopitar, now the Kings’ captain, is not only a great defensive center, but he also still puts up top-15
ofensive numbers and wins a ton of faceofs. He is the type of center teams try to build around.
BENN: JEFF VINNICK/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, MCDAVID: ANDY DEVLIN/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES
08|ERIK KARLSSON OTTAWA | D | LAST YEAR: 7
If you need ofense from the blueline, you go to the one-man breakout. Karlsson averaged a stunning
28 minutes per game and finished tied for fourth in NHL scoring, an incredible feat for a defenseman.
The big question at this point: what would Karlsson be like on a team that had much more talent? 09
09|CONNOR McDAVID EDMONTON | C | LAST YEAR: 36
We only have a 45-game sample at this point, but the die has been cast. McDavid could very well lead
the NHL in scoring this season and no one would blink. He’s got a nuclear option on his wing now
with Milan Lucic and still plenty of other finesse guys to work with on the power play.
10|JOE PAVELSKI SAN JOSE | C | LAST YEAR: 28

As captain, he led the Sharks to the Stanley Cup final for the first time in franchise history. During the
regular season, he was an ofensive machine and one of the best faceof men in the NHL. He’s a do-it-
all guy and totally clutch, leading the league with 11 game-winning goals.
11|ALEX OVECHKIN WASHINGTON | LW | LAST YEAR: 3

It’s really hard to hit 50 goals nowadays, but ‘Ovie’ still hit the benchmark. Most impressively, he was
the only NHLer to 30 even-strength goals (31). On top of that, he remains a physical force, making
life hard on opposing defensemen with his heavy hits.

500TOP
17
16|VICTOR HEDMAN TAMPA BAY | D | LAST YEAR: 10
Would it be surprising if Hedman won the Norris Trophy this season? It would not. The beastly Bolt
drives possession, puts up points and plays tough competition.
17|BRADEN HOLTBY WASHINGTON | G | LAST YEAR: 39

The Vezina winner checks all the boxes thanks to his size, technique and compete level. Holtby led
the NHL in wins last year, and he’s got the inside track on repeating the trick.
18|EVGENI MALKIN PITTSBURGH | C | LAST YEAR: 27

It’s weird for such a big talent to get overshadowed, but that’s life with Crosby as your teammate.
Malkin is still one of the most potent scorers in the NHL, averaging a point per game last year.
19|JOHNNY GAUDREAU CALGARY | LW | LAST YEAR: NR

Fast becoming one of the most dangerous ofensive players in the league, ‘Johnny Hockey’ faces top
lines and still manages to get the puck going in the right direction on a bad possession team.
20|VLADIMIR TARASENKO ST. LOUIS | RW | LAST YEAR: 21

Another world-class snipe artist, Tarasenko notched his first 40-goal campaign last season. But on
a premier Blues squad, it certainly won’t be his last. He has dazzling moves with the puck.
21|RYAN GETZLAF ANAHEIM | C | LAST YEAR: 14

A possession driver who also happens to be a great playmaker, Getzlaf’s challenge now is to get
his second Cup ring – but this time, as the captain instead of a brash youth.
22|STEVEN STAMKOS TAMPA BAY | C | LAST YEAR: 9

Losing out on him as a UFA caused at least two teams – Toronto and Detroit – to change their plans.
Tampa Bay is thrilled to have him back. Few can score like Stamkos can.
12 |PATRICE BERGERON BOSTON | C 23|LOGAN COUTURE SAN JOSE | C | LAST YEAR: NR

HOLTBY: GREG FIUME/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, STAMKOS: ANDRE RINGUETTE/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES
Had the Sharks won the Cup, he would have been a very strong Conn Smythe candidate. Couture
LAST YEAR: 20 can pile up the points, but he’s also a solid two-way player with good possession stats.
His Bruins are weakening around him, but Bergeron is still one of the
premier two-way players in the NHL. He killed it in the faceof circle and
put up top-20 ofensive numbers. 24|KRIS LETANG PITTSBURGH | D | LAST YEAR: 31
13|TYLER SEGUIN DALLAS | C
Positively Herculean during the Pens’ run to the title, Letang ate huge minutes (nearly 29 per game in
the playofs) and ranked second on the team in scoring during the regular season.
LAST YEAR: 18
A point-per-game player whose season was cut short by injury, Seguin
will be back with a vengeance. The magic he works with linemate Benn
25|BEN BISHOP TAMPA BAY | G | LAST YEAR: 47
It’s unfortunate that Tampa will probably trade him or lose him to Las Vegas. The towering netminder
will help the Stars soar again. has injury issues, but when he’s on the ice he is nearly unbeatable.
14 |BRENT BURNS SAN JOSE | D

LAST YEAR: 44 22
Few defenders have the same impact on the game today as Burns, who
rang up big ofensive numbers, played huge minutes and contributed in
all situations – all while playing physical.
15| JOHN TAVARES NY ISLANDERS | C

LAST YEAR: 6
He has flirted with the Hart a couple times already. And thanks to his
ofensive acumen and possession game, Tavares could do it again.
He makes players around him better.

TOP
26|JONATHAN QUICK LOS ANGELES | G | LAST YEAR: NR

Still one of the most intimidating goalies around, Quick’s athleticism and quickness are legendary. 32
27|DUNCAN KEITH CHICAGO | D | LAST YEAR: 5
His combination of minute-munching and excellent two-way play makes him a beacon for all D-men.
28|JOE THORNTON SAN JOSE | C | LAST YEAR: NR

‘Jumbo’ just turned in one of his finest seasons. How many more does he have? At least one or two.
29|OLIVER EKMAN-LARSSON ARIZONA | D | LAST YEAR: 33

He doesn’t get a lot of publicity, but he crushes minutes, plays against top lines and scores a lot.
30|EVGENY KUZNETSOV WASHINGTON | C | LAST YEAR: NR

He’ll eventually take over for ‘Ovie’ as the Caps’ top ofensive threat. And that could be coming soon.
31|JOHN KLINGBERG DALLAS | D | LAST YEAR: NR
SCHNEIDER: ANDRE RINGUETTE/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, EKMAN-LARSSON: NORM HALL/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, GIROUX: ANDRE RINGUETTE/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES
He puts up big points from the blueline and does it with great possession stats as well.
32|CORY SCHNEIDER NEW JERSEY | G | LAST YEAR: NR

How many games would N.J. have won without him? Get him some goal support and he’s a world-beater.
33|NIKITA KUCHEROV TAMPA BAY | RW | LAST YEAR: NR

On a team with Stamkos, the top-scoring Triplet may be Tampa’s most dangerous player.
34|NICKLAS BACKSTROM WASHINGTON | C | LAST YEAR: 48

He’s posted three straight seasons with 50 assists or more while playing tough minutes.
35|CLAUDE GIROUX PHILADELPHIA | C | LAST YEAR: 18

He’s a top-20 scorer with nice possession stats and some of the best faceof work in the NHL.
36|P.K. SUBBAN NASHVILLE | D | LAST YEAR: 22

There’s risk to his game but also lots of reward. Subban plays tons of minutes and racks up points.

29

37 |ROMAN JOSI NASHVILLE | D

39
LAST YEAR: NR
He’s an underrated star in Nashville who led the Predators in ice time and
points by a defenseman.
38 |SHEA WEBER MONTREAL | D

LAST YEAR: 17
Weber is still an intimidator thanks to his physical play, cannon point shot
and big workload.
39 |BLAKE WHEELER WINNIPEG | RW

LAST YEAR: NR
On a bad team, he ended up tied for sixth in NHL scoring while terrorizing
opponents when he killed penalties.
40 |TAYLOR HALL NEW JERSEY | LW

LAST YEAR: NR
He was a huge possession driver in Edmonton, and the Devils will love
his speed and skill.
41 |HAMPUS LINDHOLM ANAHEIM | C

LAST YEAR: NR
His possession numbers are, quite frankly, insane. He’s a rising star
in Anaheim.
42 |COREY CRAWFORD CHICAGO | G

For all the talk about the crew that plays in front of him, Crawford still
led the NHL in shutouts with seven.
43
WHEELER: JONATHAN KOZUB/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES, SUTER: BRUCE KLUCKHOHN/NHLI VIA GETTY IMAGES
43 |RYAN SUTER MINNESOTA | D

LAST YEAR: 23
Only Karlsson averaged more ice time per game, but Suter played more
shorthanded – and he put up 51 points, too.
44 |ARTEMI PANARIN CHICAGO | LW

LAST YEAR: NR
He made magic with Kane. There will be no sophomore slump.
45| BRAD MARCHAND BOSTON | LW

LAST YEAR: NR
His 31 combined even-strength and shorthanded goals tied for NHL lead.
46 |DUSTIN BYFUGLIEN WINNIPEG | D 48|ALEKSANDER BARKOV | FLORIDA | C | LAST YEAR: NR

He was early a point-per-game player in his third season. What will see from Barkov this time out?
LAST YEAR: NR
The big shot, the big minutes, the big dude: ‘Big Buf’ can alter a game. 49|ONDREJ PALAT TAMPA BAY | LW | LAST YEAR: NR
47
The new Marian Hossa? Palat has crafted a smart, two-way game that allows for ofense, as well.
|ALEX PIETRANGELO ST. LOUIS | D
LAST YEAR: NR
He goes about his work quietly but does so with deadly eiciency.
50|RYAN MCDONAGH NY RANGERS | D | LAST YEAR: 26
He did some heavy lifting on the Rangers’ blueline and still found time to put up 34 points.

PREDICTION

WASHINGTON in METRO
CAPITALS
BY BRIAN MCNALLY
T he Washington Capitals had a decorated campaign

earning the Presidents Trophy with by far the most points in the
N(L Barry Trotz won the Jack Adams Award for top coach while
goalie Braden (oltby won the Vezina Trophy Alex Ovechkin again
cruised to goals
The only major move was a trade for Lars Eller Expectations will
remain high for at least another season and it will be up to the same
cast to make up for last season s disappointment
OFFENSE No team can count on as reliable a goal scorer as Ovechkin

But the season was a failure That s not a harsh judgment The Capi (e hit goals on the nose the third season in a row and seventh
tals themselves said all season long it was Cup or bust They went time in his career he s reached that mark Washington wasn t a one
bust in the second round against the Pittsburgh Penguins With most man show though Evgeny Kuznetsov had a true breakout campaign
of the roster returning there is nothing left to do but try again with a team leading points Fellow center Nicklas Backstrom
