3UPS :<br />

1. James Neal<br />

Tale of the tape: LW, Age 25, 6’ 2”, 208lbs<br />

James Neal is the real deal. Coming off the<br />

magical 4 th year breakout, Neal showed all of us<br />

why he will be a fantasy hockey stud for a long<br />

time setting career highs in almost every<br />

statistical category. Neal has a permanent<br />

position playing alongside NHL scoring leader<br />

Evgeni Malkin, so you know his production will<br />

not be going down anytime soon.<br />

Verdict: Expect another 40 goal season<br />

2. Kris Letang<br />

Tale of the tape: D, Age 25, 6’ 0”, 180lbs<br />

Kris Letang battled injuries for most of last year including a concussion, but Letang is healthy<br />

now. Letang is an offensive minded defensemen playing on a high scoring team <strong>and</strong> is the power<br />

play QB that includes the likes of Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin <strong>and</strong> James Neal. Look for Letang<br />

to put up career highs all across the board.<br />

Verdict: Could lead the league in points by a defenseman.<br />

3. Sidney Crosby<br />

Tale of the tape: C, Age 25, 5’ 11”, 200lbs<br />

Sidney Crosby is arguably the best player in the NHL unfortunately for him he has battled a<br />

concussion <strong>and</strong> a mis- diagnosed neck injury the last two years. That is all behind him now <strong>and</strong><br />

look for Crosby to explode this year. Crosby, a Hart Trophy winner can do it all by scoring goals<br />

or setting up team-mates. Very good on faceoffs.<br />

Verdict: Will finish in the top 3 in league scoring<br />
