Is your team struggling? Is it surprisingly competitive? Dan Pennucci goes over the players that are struggling and those that are surprising in his latest Blue Line Buzz.
The 2012-13 season could be a pivotal one for Ryan Ellis. With Ryan Suter having departed for Minnesota as a free agent, the Preds will certainly be looking for someone to fill his skates on the team's top defensive pairing alongside Shea Weber. Ellis certainly has the scoring touch to fill that role -- particularly on the power play -- so be ready to bump him up a few notches on your draft sheets come October. At the very least, expect Ellis to play a regular role for the Preds next season after scoring 11 points in 32 games in 2011-12. (Updated 8/14/12)
