Tyler Toffoli – The 2012-13 AHL rookie of the year got a taste of the NHL last season and equated himself very well.  Now he should be a full-time NHLer and could be slotted in on the wing with Mike Richards and Jeff Carter.  Toffoli is my pick for the NHL rookie of the year, and 25-30 goals wouldn’t be a shock to me.
