Team: 2019-20 Custom Team

Initial Creation Date: May 12, 2020

Published: May 12, 2020

Salary Cap Mode: Basic

I only picked one player per team to save time. I know some of them will be unpopular but this is just what I think.

ANA- Rakell was not "bad" at all this year but I think we could potentially see him put up career highs next year.

ARI- Whether he stays or goes I expect a bounce back season from Hall 100% next year

BOS- this one really isn't a bounce back but I expect some big things from JDB soon, love the way he plays

BUF- Skinner is an obvious choice but I think it's more likely we see a great season from Mitts than Skinner returning to great goal scoring form on pretty much pure shooting percentage.

CAL- Obvious pick, he is too talented to have a repeat of this last season

CAR- Wasn't the best this year but I expect for him to return to solid defensive play next year, even if it isn't with the Canes

CHI- Just wasn't as solid as season prior, but I think Debrincat is good enough to have a bounce back in production

COL- No one really played horribly on the Avs this year but I think there is even more we can see from Rantanen next season

CBJ- Wouldn't be shocked to see him return to his norris level 17-18 season next year.


DAL- Wasn't as good as his rookie year this year, but I expect a BIG 3rd season out of him, really talented player.

DET- I mean, can't get much worse than he was this year lol

EDM- Don't get me wrong he still had an amazing season, but it wasn't on par with his previous two years, especially defensively, expect a bounce back there.

FLA- Wasn't exactly "elite" defensively this year, however he definitely has what it takes to get that back on track.

LAK- Well to say the least it was not a great season for Drew, but there is no denying he still has the talent at the position to be better next year.

MIN- Very good moving blueliner who I think shores up his defensive woes next year.

MTL- I am a big fan of KK, I still think he will turn out as a solid 2nd line C to a lower tier 1C, which starts next year with a solid season

NSH- He even said it himself, he needs to be better.

NJD- Not going to lie that it was a VERY disappointing season for Hughes this year but he clearly has the talent to be better. I think that starts as soon as next year.

NYI-Has regressed a little bit since his rookie season, but I think a new contract is just what he needs to get going again.

NYR- Another pretty easy one for me. Just like Hughes there is a no reason a player as talented as Kakko to be struggling two years in a row.

OTT- pretty easy pick here, was a very bad year for a player who I believe can be a solid top 6 option

PHI- It's hard to imagine anything but better play from Ghost next year.

PIT- I understand he was injured and is getting a little older, but he just didn't look like Sid out there at times. I think he still has a lot left in the tank

SJS- Even though he wasn't as close to bad as everyone is claiming he was, EK is still capable of much more in my opinion.

STL- Another player who isn't as bad as everyone thinks, but hasn't lived up to expectations. Some sort of improvement is likely next season.

TBL- Vasy is pretty overrated in general, but I think he will be more consistent next year.

TOR- Wasn't himself this season but fully expect freddy to be a solid starter again next year.

VAN- This was honestly my hardest pick but I will pick Sven because I believe he could be a solid 3rd or 4th liner on a team and obviously wasn't this year.

VGK- Was insane in 17-18 but has fallen off a bit ever since, still really like his capabilities and wouldn't be surprised with a strong season next year

WSH- I don't believe he can be an amazing 60-65 game goalie anymore, but I don't expect his extremely poor play to continue for seasons to come.

WPG- For being well known as the jets best defender, it was actually a pretty bad season for him. I have no doubt his elite defensive play will return next season.
