Hall still has room to grow his game, and considering he finished 9th in league scoring, that says a lot. Should be a top 10 by the end of the season.

Nash’s first year on Broadway didn’t live up to expectations, and hopefully for his sake, getting away from John Tortorella will get him back to the dominant force he can and should be.
11. Bobby Ryan

Four 30 goal seasons is pretty impressive, and this season will determine if he was stuck in the shadow of Corey Perry or if he did it in spite of Perry. Should get a look of good looks riding shotgun with Jason Spezza.
