11-12 cup question

I'm going with RNH, Landeskog, Couturier, Hodgson and Larsson.

I get the feeling they will go with 3 players again, and I think it will be the highest drafted guys left in the NHL, so RNH, Larsson, and Landeskog.

There may be older guys having better rookie years than Larsson or guys like Couturier, Hodgson, etc., but they tend to look at long-term collectability over performance during their rookie year, and top 5 picks tend to have better collectability.

I could see them picking a Leaf or Canuck for collectability as well, but Hodgson would need to turn it up and I don't think there any Leaf rookies that are ahead of the other 3 mentioned above.

As far as my thoughts go: They could reasonably go with 3 SSP rookies and 3-6 SP rookies then the rest of the rookie crop. RNH, Larsson, Landeskog SSPs, Hodgson, Smith-Pelly, Smith, Read, Couturier, Connolly, Gudbranson etc. for SPs. It'd be different, but it'd also provide a little more meaning to some since there is a deep, collectable and talented rookie crop this year. Looking forward to maybe getting my first Cup tin when it is released , and hopefully pulling one of the above cards :P

We have to wait for this guy for a while, but he's doing very well in Finland. He is the second so far. 30 games, 38 points (16+22)

At least for The Cup being a late release, they have time to decide WHO the best rookies are and make their decisions from there. Hopefully they have 6 again, that would be nice, couple nice rookies to pick from for sure

Henrique is 2nd in the NHL in points for rookies but I presume he doesn't qualify? Is he does he is up there.
