Five Safe(ish) Rookies for Your NHL Hockey Pool in 07-08
September 18th, 2007, 10 Comments »
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?
