Ladd is young and they have alot of good forwards - Staal,Brindamour, Cole, Williams, Whitney, Carter, Vasicek and possibly Stillman.
I just dont see him getting 30 in the bank this year but I did say it could happen down the road.
You might want to check the roster, Vasicek and Carter are not on the current roster. If you are talking about Anson Carter, whom the Canes picked up mid-season I am a little unsure what qualifies him as a \"good\" forward. He had a good year playing with the Sedins. Outside of that he has been mediocre at best, and I would say on the poorer end of mediocre. Likewise Vasicek had never lived up to his billing and should be considered as a \"band aid boy\" for certain (did not look at the list recently to see if he is on there or not). At this stage, I would not consider Vasicek or Carter to be ranked higher than Ladd.
Where Ladd plays will depend on the health of the rest of the team. Whitney had a uncanny season for health last year, Stillman was injured for much of the year, and Cole (though my favorite NHLer) is definately a \"band aid boy.\" Seeing as the chance of at least one of these players being injured this upcoming season is at minimum fair, then Ladd well could see some top 6 time.
With that said, I still don\'t see 30 goals out of Ladd this year. Hopefully in the next couple of years though.
