Welcome to the new version of PrimePucks™ NHL IN 30 for 2015-2016. In the past we would give you our daily countdown to who we think would be the Stanley Cup champions but this year we are using a totally different format as most major websites are doing exactly what we were doing; bringing you a full, detailed synopsis of each NHL team from 30 to 1.  This season we thought mixing it up a bit would be more interesting.  Face it, for most “fantasy poolies”, it’s the players on the top teams that one cares about because you won’t get hit with poor plus/minus figures and you are more likely to get major point distribution from the better teams in the league.  The new format will have three parts to it.  It will be somewhat some of the same old format for the third part but with a different twist on the first two parts.  The final 16 teams will be written up in the same old style which was a full article featuring one of the playoff teams as we countdown to the Stanley Cup Champions.  At least, what we think will be the Stanley Cup Champions.  The first two parts will be broken down this way.  The first article will feature the 7 teams we think will not be fighting for a playoff spot come the second half of the season but rather, fighting for a chance to pick first overall in the 2016 NHL Entry Draft in June 2016.  We will call that article, NHL IN 30: LOOKING OUT FOR NO. 1.  The second part will be a feature spotting the 7 teams that will just fall short of the coveted playoff berth which will be entitled, NHL IN 30: CLOSE, BUT NO CIGAR.  Today we spotlight the 7 teams who will struggle this season and will eventually start to compete, or should we say somewhat-compete, for the right to select 2016’s NHL Entry Draft #1 prospect Austen Matthews.  8 teams from the Eastern Conference will fail to qualify for the playoffs while 6 teams from the Western Conference will have the same fate. I’m surprised they couldn’t come up with a more balanced approach but it is what it is. So here goes, your brand new NHL IN 30. PART I: LOOKING OUT FOR NO. 1 It may be difficult to duplicate last year’s hoopla with regards to the 2015 NHL Entry Draft can’t-miss prospects Connor McDavid and Jack Eichel but Austen Matthews will get enough attention once the draft draws closer and the novelty of McDavid and Eichel begin to wear off.  Matthews has pure talent that will help an NHL team immediately and some of those teams that might be salivating at getting a chance at such a ...
