2023 HFBoards Stanley Cup Favourite #10

[M2Beezy]

So the Florida Panthers cleaned up the 9th spot after a very impressive Presidents trophy season but were stomped out of the playoffs pretty quickly. For their fans hopefully was a learning step. Anyways like the Flames have a lot of significant changes that could really change the dynamic of the team. We will see! Anyways 10 is NEXT

Vegas.... they can get a goalie later

 

[MasterMatt25]

Pittsburgh. They can produce a miracle run on the backs of Crosby/Guentzel/Letang/Malkin

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Boston. Pitt will lose in the 1st and Vegas will miss the playoffs

 

[Lavar Ball]

Boston here banking on them surviving the first half of the season

Even if they survive can Bergeron/Kreji be a 1-2 center punch?

I highly doubt it, at ages 36 and 37?

 

[Connor McConnor]

Boston fails every single year even when they had better teams. Vegas has more upside and an easier road

Very fair question, but I don't love any of the teams left honestly and Bergeron was pretty darn good last year so I'll still bank on them. Not confident at all though

The biggest hurdle for them is to survive the beginning of the season and keep pace with the major injuries they have.

Luckily they have a pretty "easy " start to the season but they have to make it count.

All the teams have pretty big holes after the top 5 and there are quite a few that could be in the mix. I went Pittsburgh here. But I’ve picked them high a few years now and they’ve disappointed. Still I’ll bite again.

Picked Washington, but changed to PIT because I somehow missed that they haven't been picked yet.

PIT here, then Washington and Minnesota.

Alternatively, if they lose those games with a depleted lineup it will be an even steeper climb.

Exactly my point.

Exactly my point.

Sorry, I only read part of it.
