04/10/2012 00:20 Playoff preview: (2) St. Louis vs. (7) San Jose
Before the season I tell you the San Jose Sharks and St. Louis Blues are going to meet in the first round of the playoffs as the second and seventh seeds, almost everybody would assume the higher seed would be the Sharks. Not this time.
Couture had the breakout year that many fantasy hockey pundits expected he would, notching 32 goals and 24 assists in his first full season of NHL action. The 22-year-old was an impact player on the man advantage, as he added 10 power-play scores to help the Sharks finish second in power-play percentage (23.5%). Of course, this brilliant campaign by Couture put him on the map as a finalist for the Calder Trophy, awarded to the league's top rookie, though he was narrowly edged by Carolina's Jeff Skinner in the voting. A natural talent, Couture projects to be an elite forward in the coming years. Unfortunately, you will likely have to pay a high premium to snag one of the league's top youngsters, as his outstanding rookie campaign has given him name recognition spanning far beyond the Bay Area.
