Since it’s almost Labor Day, it’s time for me to pick up the pace with my rankings. For those who haven’t seen them, you can check out my Top 50 here. I’m not going to bore you with an intro, everybody wants to see my top 100 and this is going to be incredibly long as is, so let’s get right to it!
51) Ben Bishop – The more research that I do, the more I’m tempted to move Bishop up even higher. Yes, last season was a disaster, but Bishop was the #1 overall player in 2015-16. But Viz, Dallas has been a train wreck defensively for years! This is true, but with Marc Methot coming on board and the growth of their young blueliners, they could take a step forward. More importantly, we’ve seen some goalies with far less talent than Bishop succeed in Ken Hitchcock’s system *cough* Brian Elliott *cough*. It’s a little risky but I’m expecting Dallas to push for the Central Division title giving Bishop massive upside across the board.
Please, blog, may I have some more?
