It has long been said that Alexei Ponikarovsky has never reached his full potential. I think that could be contributed to a weak team, ice time, line mates and maybe even coaching.
At 6’4 and 220 pounds and 29 years of age now, it may be the year Alexei breaks out. he is coming off a career year with 23 goals and 61 points. We know he has a great shot, I think what we are all waiting for is for him to assert himself and use that massive frame to his advantage.

I think he'll bang in 30 this year
I expect a big year from Poni as well....I though Stempniak might have a huge year as well but it looks like he might get dealt or buried in the minors this year
He should be traded, for a 2nd round draft pick. Just no room for him on this team!!
