I'm interested in what peeps think will happen with a handful of players this year. Where do you think they'll end up?
Afinogenov? KHL? Does another NHL team give him a 1yr?
Fehr? Anyone send him an offersheet? Does he solidly get into WAS' top 6 this coming season?
Who backs up Bryzgalov this year? Does anyone have a chance to unseat him, or was last year mostly a full team 'not-so-greatness'?
Radulov? yeah-yeah... who thinks he's coming back? This year? Ever?
Who starts, and who is the back up in net in WAS?
Sterling? Has he simply missed his opportunity? Or has he not gotten enough of one?
When is Boedker fantasy relavent in PHX with their stable of youngsters?
Pietrangelo? Any residual concussion problems? next year's projections?
Well, I'll quit there for now. I may have a couple more that I add in.

Afinogenov will get some offers, I think, but he'll get more money in Russia. It'll come down to whether he wants to play here for less or not. I'm guessing he goes there.
Fehr... no future in Washington, imo. But if he gets some playing time this year, he could be trade bait. Don't know too much about him, though, personally.
I think Bryzgalov will have Tordjman behind him this year. I think he's more ready than montoya, and i think montoya is really the goalie of the future down there. let Al develop as the starter in the AHL (San Antonio, is it?) and Tordjman handle backup duties.
Radulov... not coming back this year. Not ever to Nashville. If he commits to coming back, though, they can trade his rights for a pretty penny.
Washington... Theodore starts, Varlamov is the backup (and steals the show for 10 and 20 game stretches). Neuvirth is the starter in the AHL (Hershey?), developing to be a real solid NHL #1.
Sterling... missed his opportunity, imo. If Kovalchuk leaves, there could be room for him, but then what's the use? who would he be playing with? lots of question marks.
Boedker... 40 points in 09-10, 70 points in 10-11. mark my words.
pietrangelo... i bet he plays less than 40 NHL games. probably gets 25 points. but by 10-11 he's got a good role down there and can put up 65-70 like they would hope. that is, if there are no concussion issues.
