16. Pekka Rinne (NASH)
Last year's stats: Wins: 32 / GAA: 2.53 / SV%: .911
Rinne spent most of last season battling with Dan Ellis for the No. 1 job. Though Rinne never officially lost it, on occasion Ellis would start a few games in a row.
The Predators did lose Hamhuis and Arnott, but they replaced them with Matthew Lombardi and Matt Halischuk. Those two should bolster the offense, which should lead to more wins for Rinne.
Rinne had 32 wins in 54 starts last season, now that he should get around 70 starts, he should hit 40 wins.
17. Antti Niemi (CHI)
