SHC Predicts The Season,
It is nice to see no one being biased in their picks. Usually when it comes to writers / fan websites based around teams they always pick their team as a favorite and neglect to see the talent around the league. I would agree with Kevin that Grigorenko could be the Calder Winner, if not Galchenyuk would be my next pick. After seeing the work he did during the juniors if he becomes a mainstay at NHL level he should be great this year.
