>Boston Bruins Oates D.Sweeney Wesley
>Buffalo Sabres Lafontaine Mogilny Audette (jinx?)
>Calgary Flames Roberts Reichel Petit
>Chicago Blackhawks Roenick Ruuttu Goulet
Chelios is by far the MVP on Chicago...
>Detroit Red Wings Yzerman Chaisson Kozlov
>Edmonton Oilers Manson Buchberger Mellanby
Manson, by his own admission, had a terrible year...the Oilers
don't really have a team MVP...by default, it should go to Craig
MacTavish. Shjon Podein was the biggest surprise...Tikkanen the
biggest disappointment.
>Hartford Whalers Sanderson Cassells Corriveau
>Los Angeles Kings Robitaille Donnelly Hrudey
>Minnesota North Stars Modano Tinordi(not expected back) Broten
Tinordi was back by mid-season last year...and when he plays he is the MVP.
>Montreal Canadiens Muller Lebeau Savard
>New Jersey Devils Stevens Semak MacLean
>New York Islanders Turgeon King(finally) Marois
King had a great year last year also.
>New York Rangers Messier Kovalev Bourque
How can Kovalev be a surprise?
>Ottawa Senators MacIver Baker Jelinek
>Philadelphia Flyers Lindros/Recchi Fedyk/Galley Eklund
Fence-sitting...look at Philly's record with Eric and without...
there is no doubt. Soderstrom is probably the biggest surprise.
>Pittsburgh Penguins Lemieux Tocchet(even for him) Jagr
Tocchet had a near 100 point season in Philly with Mike Bullard as
his center...why shouldn't he be able to do that with Mario?
>Quebec Nordiques Sakic/Ricci Kovalenko Pearson
>San Jose Sharks Kisio Gaudreau Maley
>St Louis Blues Shanahan C.Joseph Ron Sutter
Really Joseph deserves the MVP nod.
>Tampa Bay Lightening Bradley Bradley Creighton/Kasper
>Toronto Maple Leafs Gilmour Potvin Ellett/Anderson
>Vancouver Canucks Bure Nedved(finally) Momesso
>Washington Capitals Hatcher Bondra/Cote Elynuik
>Winnipeg Jets Selanne Selanne Druce
