I got the Hockey News yearbook in the mail today...

They have the Ducks winning the cup again against the Senators. Pretty bad prediction that the Ducks are going to repeat until Scott Nieds makes up his mind on whether or not he is going to play.

Here is the rest...

Eastern Conference

1 - Ottawa Senators

2 - New York Rangers

3 - Carolina Hurricanes

4 - Pittsburgh Penguins

5 - Buffalo Sabres

6 - Tampa Bay Lightning

7 - New Jersey Devils

8 - Atlanta Thrashers

9 - Philadelphia Flyers

10 - Washington Capitals

11 - Toronto Maple Leafs

12 - Florida Panthers

13 - Montreal Canadiens

14 - New York Islanders

15 - Boston Bruins

Western Conference

1 - Detroit Red Wings

2 - Anaheim Ducks

3 - Calgary Flames

4 - San Jose Sharks

5 - Minnesota Wild

6 - Vancouver Canucks

7 - Nashville Predators

8 - Colorado Avalanche

9 - St. Louis Blues

10 - Chicago Blackhawks

11 - Dallas Stars

12 - Los Angeles Kings

13 - Edmonton Oilers

14 - Columbus Blue Jackets

15 - Phoenix Coyotes

I'm not quite sure about that. Frazee is actually pretty damn good, despite his super fluky goal he gave up not too long ago. I think he might have a legitimate shot at a decent NHL career.

I think he has the tools to be a GOOD Number one goalie/Back-up, Though I would put him 5th, Corente/Greene are higher than him IMO"

wrong... all wrong... flyers will make it Caps have potential to make it... thrashers and canes wont

Nashville wont make it... chicago will... blues wont do that good

DEVILS WILL DO BETTER THAN 7TH... pens arent that good... even w/ malkin staal crosby and if espisito plays...

pretty bad call by THN. in the same book they have bropdeur getting 43 wins (86 pts) 6 OTL (6 pts) and Weekes with 6 wins (12 points). 104 pts for the 7th seed? nice job THN

for the first time in 8 years, i did not renew my subscription to the hockey news(though i did get the yearbook so i think that's my final issue). besides the fact that i can get all the info i need online, i felt recently that they have been taking a lot of cheap shots at lou and the devils. maybe i'm just being too sensitive about it, but it just seemed to me that week after week they couldn't resist giving lou or the devs a hard time. i won't miss getting this rag.

I'm happy that they left the Flyers out with the additons of Timonen, Hartnell, Briere, Lupul, and Smith.

Their lines should be

Gagne Briere Knuble

Hartnell Carter Lupul

Kapanen Richards Umberger

Eager Potulny Upshall

They probably will have to dump some D-Men cause they have excess amount of D-Men. I say Kukkonen, Parent and Jones will begin the season in the Phantom system. Rathje is hurt.

Timonen Smith

Gauthier Hatcher

Coburn Picard

As for the Sabres, they are my dark horse pick, because they have talent from within in Zagrapan and Stafford. I still think with Roy, Afinogenov, Vanek, Kotalik and Hecht they can compete. And their defense is still strong with a healthy Spacek and Tallinder.
