Speculation: 24-25 Predictions!

[TheMistyStranger]

This seemed a popular format last year, so make 2 "safe" and 1 wild prediction you can actually see happening this season.

I'm going with:

Safe - Dahlin finishes point-per-game or higher
Safe - JJP and Quinn finish with a combined 65 goals
Wild - Byram breaks the 60 point barrier

Which number is higher, Benson's goals or PIMs?

Last year 11/36

PIM easily

Which number is higher, Benson's goals or PIMs?

Last year 11/36

Most players will have more PIM than goals.

For Benson, the bigger question is "deserved PIM".

 

[Matt Ress]

PIM easily

Kind of in jest. Though I think the numbers will be much closer to each other this season

 

[MayDayMayDay]

Haven't posted in a while. Good to be back.

My hopes for this year are as high as they've been in maybe 15 years. That said, I don't know what to really expect.

Safe: We have more than one PPG player and 30G scorer.

Safe: Team plays with a ton more piss and vinegar than we've seen in a long, long time.

Wild: Card. As in, I think we are in the playoffs, backstopped by strong blue line and goaltending play, and I think we win a round.

Happy: Josh Allen and Hailee Steinfeld engagement announcement.
