Nico would be 4C on the Penguins
I'd rather have him than Brassard. Either way, I was quoting the poster who said Zajac was the only good center on the Devils.
So your comment is not even relevant.

Those are your centericemen. Brian Boyle is a flash in the pan. Zajac is the only really good centericeman on the Devils.
versus
Crosby
Malkin
Brassard
Sheary.
Plus, all the hooking and holding will slow your team down. Like I said above, you'll win a game or two and there will be several close ones, much like the '12 Islanders series or last years Toronto-Washington series, but the Pens WILL take it in 5 or 6 games.
The Caps would scare me as far as being the team who doesn’t give a crap anymore and is just there to see how far they can go. I think the expectations are gone as far as them winning a cup. They also have a bunch of new guys who weren’t there the last few years. Sometimes this is the year you go deeper than everyone thinks

Yeah, I too would take Nico in a heartbeat over a veteran center who produces at a similar clip and has 55 points in 78 playoff games and is well known to elevate his game in the playoffs.
My mistake, the Devils have TWO good centers who'd be 4C on the Pens.

I definitely do. The first Lightning-Devils game was one of the most exciting of the year.Why not? They are one of the most exciting teams in the league
Questionable D and goaltending from both
All the top contenders have added huge pieces to put them over the top. I can't remember the last time this many teams were this loaded with talent.
Pittsburgh adding Brassard.
TB getting Mcdonaugh & Miller
Bos - Nash
Winnipeg -Stastny
Nashville - Turris.
Then you have teams like Philly, Vegas, SJ, TOR.. all playing fantastic hockey.
Safe to see, this is gonna be pure hockey porn come playoffs.
Those awful Devils centers sure handled those elite Pitt centers in the first two games they played this season...
Tampa looks stacked with their D. They look pretty darn good everywhere.
While the Pens went with depth on offense again, their D will need to step up. Their third pairing is the weakest link. Murray knows playoff hockey, in fact everyone knows Pens are not regular season killers.
Bruins are playing stingy puck possession and look poised. They have a system that frustrates the structure or teams built like the Pens and Bolts.
It’s all about the East. Nashville will be meeting the Pens or the Bolts.
Might be a rematch of last year.
Pens win cup in 6 (on the road again).
Malkin Conn Smythe
Pains me to say it but I cant see anyone else coming out of the east besides TBL... or BOS if they can stay hot. The west has too many good teams for me to whittle down. This seriously could be Winnipeg's year that they make a serious run. And im not gonna lie, those fans deserve it. I cant imagine seeing a franchise leave only to win in another city.
If Florida somehow sneaks in over Columbus we could see in the first round:
Tampa vs Florida - Battle of Florida
Toronto vs Boston - original 6 rivals
Washington vs New Jersey - had some great series in the past
Pittsburgh vs Philly - Battle of Pennsylvania and longtime heated rivals
Vegas vs Anaheim - possible new Pacific Division rivalry
LA vs San Jose - enough said
Winnipeg vs Minnesota - Battle of the North
Nashville vs Dallas - Battle of the Country Music meccas
