24-25 Season Point Prediction

[SCD]

After watching the preseason, it is tough to imagine the Wings will be able to match last year's performance, never mind surpass 91 points. Yes it is only preseason, but this team is showing no ability to be creative and defensive lapses have been frequent. DeBrincat, Kane, and Tarasanko are not ageing well on this team. If it takes 15-20 games to figure it out, the season will likely be meaningless. Might Yzerman swing a big trade during the first month in an attempt to salvage the season or will he let the kids get experience and build for next year. Maybe he will look at the Tigers and go with youth.

79 points, Maybe less with any significant injury.

so you're predicting a bottom 5 finish? cool story bro. i'm gonna screenshot this post for future clowning

85-90 points

 

[Perfect Human]

93 points.

This team has much more depth than last year, especially when you include potential rookie call-ups. There is a lot of talent that is completely untapped and so much talent in the young guns.

They still miss the playoffs, though.

 

[DavidpauseReinbacher]

Ah for some the bed wetting has already begun. Point total improves every year for 5 years. We are deeper than last year.

 

[Air Budd Dwyer]

I highly doubt this team has 3 separate stretches where they lose 10 of 12, 8 of 9, and 5 of 7 games like they did last year. Goaltending can't be much worse than it was last season either.

I'll say low end is 93 points. High end is 101.

[Ulysses31]

guessing 99 points, tho will say room for a lot of variance. lot of x-factors with year with tarasenko, goaltending, rookies like kasper n ed potentially breaking out, improvements of other teams etc.

EDIT: other teams like lightning n bruins will b treanding down

Somewhere between 80-90 points. The roster as of this moment doesn't really inspire a lot of confidence for me. The blue line still has too many anchors and whatever improvements made (Ed) are going to be contingent on the veterans not losing a step. I'm not as down on Chiarot as others, but would anyone really be that surprised if Petry turns out to be behind even more than last year? I think this and other issues could be solved by being proactive, like integrating the younger players into the lineup more, but nothing I've seen from Lalonde or the rest of the org lately makes me think that they won't just limp on for a good portion of the season before making adjustments. This first month of games is going to be tough, tough, tough and I expect us to be behind the eight ball from the start.

i feel like people were saying the exact same thing last year and we were one of, if not the top team in the league last october

 

[14ari13]

92-98 if Yzerman figures our and fires Lalonde. 84-90 if he doesn't.
I don't like Husso. He allows a semi soft or soft goal every game.
A lot depends on Seider and Edvidson.

 

[ShanahanMan]

Going with the Athletic prediction on this one.

80 points.

 

[Snuggs]

79 points.

Selling at TDL.

wow. absolutely brilliant trolling. breathtaking really. not the predictable mid to high 70s, but still low enough to insult even the most bearish fan's sensibilities

i think it's fair to say that you are in your prime. right now. it's an honor to witness, truly. i would just say, enjoy it. most legends only get to experience a couple years at the absolute pinnacle of their craft. jordan 95-96. gretzky 85-86. woods 2000. young 1994. shanahanman 24-25

Check out #7. Seravalli is a very looped in insider, so some very interesting comments there.

You're perfectly entitled to predict whatever point total you like for the Wings. But that list is hot garbage water. McDavid hitting 1000 points - really going out on a limb with that one - and renaming the Lady Byng Trophy are the only two I could see actually happening.

Seravelli just spun the wheel and picked some names to generate clicks at the start of the season. It's not indicative of anything more.

 

[saska sault]

95 points.

 

[lilidk]

85

 

[Steve Yzerlland]

112 where the players dwell.

 

[Dotter]

I don't know, but Red Wings "playoffs" start Thursday. Each of their 82 games is going to be an impact game.

96 points is my wild guess.

 

[Peter Tosh]

105 p

 

[Coach Reggie Dunlop]

84 points. The team plays a more sound and cohesive game, but doesn’t have the unsustainable shooting percentages to carry them like last year. Their underlying metrics look better but the loss of certain players and the lack of impactful youth players prevents this team from making the next step. They have a regression point wise because of inconsistent goaltending and having to deal with more injuries than last year. Overall frustrating year, but an improvement long term over the previous year. Lalonde doesn’t get re-signed after the season.

 

[dj4aces]

My guess is somewhere between 90 and 95 points. We'll be competing for a wild card spot, and this time, I hope we don't blow a bunch of games down the stretch.

 

[Gniwder]

LOL, and you guys say that I'm a pessimist. Much like last season, it all depends on how healthy DBoss and Mo are through the season. I predcit they both play 75+ games, so.....

95 pts and playoffs. Caps and Pens both miss.

The team is first round fodder unless Kasper and Mazur both find their scoring touch, light up the AHL and replace Copp and Fischer/Motte before the season ends. Highly unlikely.

I could see all of that.

If Talbot can't at least be better than how Husso and Reimer played last year, that's a pretty low bar to trip over. But I guess we'll see.
