Cole had a career-high 35 goals playing on the Montreal Canadiens' top line. He will surely line up with Pacioretty and David Desharnais to begin the season, and the pair could even benefit with a stronger center, if Tomas Plekanec makes some offseason improvements or if Alex Galchenyuk proves ready for the NHL. Like Pacioretty, the biggest improvement in his numbers would come from an effective Canadiens power play. New coach Michel Therrien consistently had a 20 percent conversion rate at the helm of the Pittsburgh Penguins during his last NHL tenure and his knowledge should go a long way toward bringing back the man-advantage for the Habs.","seasonId":2013,"date":"Tue Sep 11"},"playerRater30DAY":2,"playerRater15DAY":2.3,"positionRank":71}
