Kessel...without his buddy Malkin he could become another Pig Penner.

Panarin...he got his lotto win contract and with the bright lights of Broadway to distract his hockey is going to fall of the radar.

Tkachuk...if he holds out. Holdouts almost always suffer from the lack of preparation and pressure to produce up to increased standards due to a fat new contract.

Toronto ... Marner holds out/misses the season, Nylander doesn’t live up to his contract, the honeymoon is over for Tavares, fans turn on Matthews because he doesn’t bleed Leaf blue and the media and fans turn on Shanahan and Dubas for all of the above reasons.

Colorado...for no reason other than they always take two steps back after taking one step forward. Or maybe it’s just wishful thinking.
