Predictions For Upcoming NHL Season

Hello, for my first blog this year I will be telling you my predictions for the upcoming NHL season.

Rocket Richard – Connor McDavid

Some people may have Auston Matthews in front of him this year but I think since they got swept by the Jets in the first round of the playoffs  last year then he will be fired up and get lots of goals to prove he is the best in the league. He has Draisaitel getting him passes and they are really good at finding each other and putting the net in the back of the net.

Vezina – Phillip Grubauer

This may be a hot take but I think the Kraken’s defense is actually really good. He is a really good goalie and was a vezina finalist last year. He has gotten a lot better in the last few years and I think he will really surprise fans with his new team.

Calder Trophy – ?

I dont really know much about this years draft class and all the new rookies so Im not going to make a prediction on this award.

Conn Smythe – Mark Stone

I think Vegas will make it to the finals this year. Mark Stone is a really good player and consistently puts up points he is a solid all around player and a good leader for that team.

Stanley Cup – Vegas Golden Knights

They are a really good team. Last year I was so surprised when one of my favourite teams (Montreal Canadians) knocked them out. Even with the loss of their all star goalie Marc-Andre Fleury they still have Robin Lehner who is also a super good goalie. They have a well rounded team with many elite players. I really like Colorado’s chances also but they always seem to get knocked out early.

Hart Memorial and Art Ross – Connor McDavid

He is such a great player it would be hard not to pick him for this award. He gets so many points and really helps the Edmonton. He is super fast and has really good hands and can break defenders ankles with very low effort.

Norris Trophy – Cale Makar

He is a really good, young defenseman for the Colorado Avalanche. In both the playoffs and regular season this past year he averaged a point per game which is really good for a young defenseman. He is my favourite defenseman in the league right now and I think he will only get better.

That is the end of my blog and I hope you enjoyed. here is a link to the NHL website.
