My prediction is that Naosu aka Ryan Shepherd wins most improved player and has an absolute breakout season, notching over 80 points and leading Chicago. It's been a long time coming for the 2,000 TPE forward and I think this year he si going to be well positioned to take over the top center spot from Westbroek. He is going to see some great time on the powerplay and with his wingers only getting better with the SSS line I think it is going to be a lot for other teams to handle.

My other prediction is that we see Mat Smith win rookie of the year. He has a very good team in front of him, but he will hold his own and be near the top of the league in all the key goalie stats. I think it will be a run similar to Doyle that will make it very hard for the awards committee to not give it to him. or PODROTY. One of the two.
