Commitment to youth. Three rookies made the club last season. Next wave of Derek Stepan, Ryan McDonagh, Pavel Valentenko, Chris Kreider are keepers.

Adding Martin Biron. The veteran goalie eases the workload of Henrik Lundqvist, who played 73 games. If Biron wins half his starts, it's a huge plus.

Signing Alex Frolov. Marian Gaborik's one-man army (42 goals) wasn't enough. If free agent Frolov rebounds, the Russian left wing could post 65 points.
