Who knows how Yakupov will do after a concussion and a knee injury; he may not have the easiest time adjusting to the NHL, it's not like he has a 220 lb frame to take on NHL defenders. Kuznetsov may not even come over, and even if he does, I can see him becoming another Semin. Which may work in Washington, but who knows.
Sven should be a dark horse Calder threat now; after 20 games, hopefully he establishes himself as a nominee at the very least.
