Raymond: He had a great year last year, and still underperformed to what I think are his full capabilites. Raymond has the tools to be a 100 point player at some point in his career. Dunno if it happens this season. I'm actually expecting a little less than I was last season, but I still think, barring injury, he'll be in the 80-85 point range.
Copp: This one's interesting. He seemed to really start to pick up his play right around the time he got injured, so we got just a taste that he might be able to do more. I'd love to see him have a bit more consistent offense and he's gotta get better on the PK this year. He was fine on the PK two seasons ago, and I just have no explanation as to how he, and all the Wings penalty killers, were so incredibly, historically bad on the PK. Hopefully he has a good season from the jump. If not, I wouldn't mind sending him out to free up a roster spot for a call up.
Gustafson: Oh boy. I was told he was Ghost with slightly less offense and slightly better defense. He was even worse than Ghost defensively, and not even in sight of Ghost's point totals. His and Holl's play are the reason why the Wings defense is so bad. The top two pairs are out too long, putting in so many hard minutes defensively that they can't get much offense going, and these two are only deployed in the offensive zone, and do virtually nothing. I am not expecting anything good from Gustafson this season. Hope he proves me wrong, but I don't see that being the case.
If Copp is 2C, the season will be over after game one.
