NIEDERREITER-PAGEAU

POS: RW AGE: 31 2022-23 STATS:78-24-17-41-22 PROJECTION: 43 GP: 76 G: 22 A: 21 NINO NIEDERREITER CAP HIT: $4,000,000 Overvalued because people think he’s a better scorer than he is. Production just average. POS: C AGE: 26 2022-23 STATS:51-17-26-43-8 PROJECTION: 44 GP: 72 G: 16 A: 28 TOMMY NOVAK CAP HIT: $800,000 Second half was astounding (for Nashville), with 35 points. He can’t maintain that pace. POS: RW AGE: 27 2022-23 STATS:82-40-47-87-28 PROJECTION: 83 GP: 80 G: 38 A: 45 WILLIAM NYLANDER CAP HIT: $6,962,366 His 31 even-strength goals put him first on team and seventh in the NHL. That adds safety. POS: C AGE: 32 2022-23 STATS:53-16-14-30-16 PROJECTION: 56 GP: 77 G: 22 A: 34 RYAN O’REILLY CAP HIT: $4,500,000 His best seasons are behind him, but he still has some good ones in front of him. POS: LW AGE: 38 2022-23 STATS:73-42-33-75-48 PROJECTION: 81 GP: 74 G: 45 A: 36 ALEX OVECHKIN CAP HIT: $9,500,000 He needs 72 goals to tie Wayne…

SAN JOSE SHARKS

GRIT FACTOR These 10 players had the highest total of hits (first number) and blocked shots (second number) last season. TOP 10 PROSPECTS SLEEPER OR BUST The Sharks are sinking, and there’s nothing TOMAS HERTL can do about it. He’s a top center on a rebuilding team with no elite wingers, and despite his reputation for scoring, he has potted 30 goals just twice as he enters his 11th NHL season.…

SHESTERKIN-WOLL

POS: G AGE: 27 2022-23 STATS:37-13-8, 2.48, .916 WINS: 40 GAA: 2.33 SP: .919 IGOR SHESTERKIN CAP HIT: $5,666,667 One of the league’s best. And a big plus: with the Rangers, he’s going to get a lot of wins. POS: G AGE: 28 2022-23 STATS:31-22-7, 2.34, .924 WINS: 35 GAA: 2.35 SP: .925 ILYA SOROKIN CAP HIT: $4,000,000 Elite stopper and seems incapable of having a bad season. Wins games on his own. POS: G AGE: 24 2022-23 STATS:4-11-1, 3.91, .892 WINS: 13 GAA: 3.89 SP: .895 DANIIL TARASOV CAP HIT: $1,050,000 It wasn’t easy playing in Columbus last year. It won’t be this year either, probably. POS: G AGE: 27 2022-23 STATS:33-11-4, 2.45, .911 WINS: 29 GAA: 2.68 SP: .908 VITEK VANECEK CAP HIT: $3,400,000 Likely starts the season as the No. 1, but he can’t feel very secure in that spot. We’ll see. POS: G AGE: 27 2022-23 STATS:18-24-6, 3.43, .900 WINS: 22 GAA: 3.18 SP: .901 KAREL VEJMELKA CAP HIT:…

VATRANO-ZUCKER

POS: RW AGE: 29 2022-23 STATS:81-22-19-41-66 PROJECTION: 38 GP: 78 G: 20 A: 18 FRANK VATRANO CAP HIT: $3,650,000 A 20-goal scorer with fewer assists. You’ll have to decide what’s important to you. POS: D AGE: 29 2022-23 STATS:81-4-27-31-43 PROJECTION: 32 GP: 80 G: 7 A: 25 MACKENZIE WEEGAR CAP HIT: $6,250,000 Among D-men not on the top PP unit, he’s a good bet. Shoots a lot, decent points. POS: RW AGE: 37 2022-23 STATS:72-16-39-55-46 PROJECTION: 59 GP: 72 G: 16 A: 43 BLAKE WHEELER CAP HIT: $800,000 The 90-point years are gone, but 60 points is possible. That won’t be the case much longer. POS: D AGE: 22 2022-23 STATS:54-2-18-20-18 PROJECTION: 41 GP: 75 G: 6 A: 35 CAM YORK CAP HIT: $1,600,000 Yet to play a full NHL year, but a very good 54-game showing last season means it’s time. POS: C AGE: 30 2022-23 STATS:82-39-52-91-20 PROJECTION: 90 GP: 81 G: 40 A: 50 MIKA ZIBANEJAD CAP HIT: $8,500,000 He’s set career…
