Dalpe played mostly on the bottom line in his five games this season. The team's top prospect produced no points with a plus-1 rating. Look for the team to make a roster move up front or play seven defensemen.
Dalpe will start the season on the fourth line. The team's top prospect scored 23 goals and 57 points through 61 games, earning 15 games with the big club. He figures to stick with the team all season which should produce a decent rookie year.
Dalpe played well on the third line, meshing with Jiri Tlusty and Brandon Sutter. The team's top prospect scored 23 goals and 57 points through 61 games, earning 15 games with the big club. He figures to stick with the team all season which should produce a decent rookie year.
No immediate fantasy hockey value while playing in the AHL.
As predicted, the Canes' top prospect likely finds himself on the third line for the start of the season. While he will play a two-way game focused on shutting down his opponent, learning from Brandon Sutter should help his development.
The team's top prospect will certainly earn a role on one of the team's top three lines. Stay tuned for further updates on the youngster as he could have a similar impact to Jeff Skinner this season.
The sophomore will be looking to top his 20 goals and 41 points from his rookie campaign. As long as he continues to flank Patrice Bergeron, he should retain that value if not further improve. Keep in mind, the pesky winger finished second to David Krejci in postseason goals with 11.
For those of you expecting an uptick in production from Kulikov: be careful. The young Russian will need to earn his spot and compete for playing time with veterans like Brian Campbell and Ed Jovanovski.
