Drouin Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Disappointing seasons can happen to anyone. Sometimes they're due to injuries; sometimes they're just bad luck; at other times they're a combination of circumstances. Here are 10 players who, for a variety of reasons, didn't have their best seasons in 2012-13 but are good candidates to bounce back in 2013-14: link for article : http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=679028&navid=DL|NHL|home Pekka Rinne Pekka Rinne: The first season of Rinne's seven-year deal with the Nashville Predators didn't go the way either side had envisioned. Rinne went from a finalist for the Vezina Trophy in 2011-12 to a sub-.500 record (15-16-8) last season while watching his save percentage slip from .923 to .910. Part of Rinne's struggles may have been related to a hip injury that required surgery in May. He says he'll be ready for the start of the season -- and with no established backup, he'll have to return to form for the Predators to return to the Stanley Cup Playoffs.

Drouin Posted August 1, 2013 Author Share Posted August 1, 2013 Anyone specific on the Canucks? Daniel, Bieksa, Edler, ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master Mind Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Out of the players you mentioned, I'd say Rinne and Ryan will have the biggest bounce back seasons. As for Canucks, I think almost everyone will play a lot better next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Magician Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Bounce back on the Canucks will be Edler/Bieksa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Henrik Kesler Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I see Lucic having a better season, but he doesn't sniff 30 goals. He's only been a 30 goal scorer when he shot 17% or better, a conversion rate that is just simply too high to maintain season to season. As for Canucks, Booth and Bieksa could both benefit from a return to form (and health). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danthecanucksfan Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 I cant believe Edler isnt in here, the guy had a tough year and is looking to redeem himself with a bounce back year this season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coconuts Posted August 1, 2013 Share Posted August 1, 2013 Of those listed I could see Gaborik, Lucic, Skinner, Rinne, and Ryan bouncing back. From the Canucks? Edler and Bieksa, but I think the whole team will play better this upcoming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
