Getting your player ready...
1. Ryan Nugent-Hopkins, C, Edmonton:
The No. 1 overall pick in this year’s draft, he had a good training camp and appears ready to play in the NHL.
2. Gabriel Landeskog, LW, Colorado:
He didn’t score a goal in the preseason, but the No. 2 pick did some good things and should get good ice time with the Avs.
3. Adam Larsson, D, New Jersey:
Defensemen don’t often win Calder trophies, but the highly regarded Swede has a chance.
4. Brayden Schenn, C, Philadelphia:
The former first- round pick, acquired from Los Angeles this summer, is a key to the Flyers’ future.
5. Stefan Elliott, D, Colorado:
If he gets regular ice time, he’ll be a threat for 40 points.
