Five Safe(ish) Rookies for Your NHL Hockey Pool in 07-08
Knowing that I’m a hockey fan, somebody asked me today which rookie he should pick in his pool. I haven’t been following the training camps and pre-season very closely (though I’ve been enjoying the FanHouse’s team-by-team previews), so I had to go do a bit of research. These five rookies seem to be likely to make their respective teams and shine in 2007-08:
- Jonathan Toews - Chicago
- Nicklas Backstrom - Washington
- Benoit Pouliot - Wild
- Peter Mueller - Coyotes
- Jack Johnson (D) - Blues
And these three seem less certain, but likely candidates as well:
- Bobby Ryan - Ducks
- Igor Grigorenko - Redwings
- Erik Johnson (D) - Kings
Like I say, I’m no expert–who are you picking?
