2009 - 2010 Center Preseason Preview
Sidney Crosby
|
|
Crosby will have two full-time wingers this year in Guerin
and Kunitz. This year he's going after his second Cup
and scoring title.
|
1. Sydney Crosby - Penguins - 2009 Preview:
Crosby is undeniably one of the hardest workers in the NHL. Malkin
and Ovechkin each captured the scoring title the last two seasons
and now it's Crosby's turn in the rotation. Malkin was our pick
last year at the top spot and now Crosby gets the edge for the 2009
- 2010 season. He'll be skating all year with Billy Guerin and the
two mesh well together.
2008 - 09 Statistics:
Goals 33 - Assists 70 - Pts. 103
2009 - 10 Projection:
Goals 38 - Assists 79 - Pts. 117
2. Evgeni Malkin - Penguins - 2009 Preview:
Malkin had a sensational year last season and throughout the
playoffs. His confidence will be through the roof this coming
season and the numbers will be there. Pittsburgh still has to
find two consistent wingers for him, though. Ruslan Fedatako will
be there, but Max Talbot will be out months due to foot surgery.
Regardless of who they put out there with Malkin, he will again
be among the league's best.

3. Ryan Getzlaf - Ducks - 2009 Preview:
It's difficult to predict how well the Ducks will do this season,
but it's easy to say Getzlaf will be sensational again. The Ducks
have some young talent in Getzlaf and Corey Perry and have picked
up Saku Koivu and Lupul to help improve the offense. Getzlaf's numbers
improve each year and he has a ton of experience in his short career
with the Ducks. He's now the go to guy in Anaheim and enjoys being
in that position. Expect another year with big offensive numbers.

4.Jeff Carter- Flyers - 2009 Preview:
In his fourth year, Carter exploded with 46 goals. If Carter can
stay healthy playing the physical style the Flyers employ, he should
manage another 30 plus goal season. Briere should be healthy this
season and the Flyers picked up Pronger in a move to help the team
compete in the tightly contested Eastern Conference. The Flyers
can make a serious bid for another Conference Finals with the help
of Carter.
2008
- 09 Statistics: Goals
48 - Assists 38 - Pts. 86
2009 - 10
Projection: Goals
36 - Assists 51 - Pts. 87
5. Nicklas Backstrom - Capitals - 2009 Preview:
There was certainly no sophomore slump for Backstrom last season.
The second year center improved his point total by nearly 20 points.
Ovechkin, Green, Semin and Backstrom...sounds like an easy choice
for fantasy owners in the 2009 - 2010 campaign.
2008
- 09 Statistics: Goals
22- Assists 66 - Pts. 88
2009 - 10
Projection: Goals
27 - Assists 64 - Pts. 91
6. Marc Savard - Bruins - 2009 Preview:
It's hard to believe Savard played his first game in the '97-'98
season with the Rangers. He may only be 5' 10", but he scored
over 90 points in a season with Atlanta. If you can do that, they
you can put up some serious points playing on a stacked Boston team.
