10+ wins to a 27 win 63 point team is still a garbage team.

15 more wins and we still would've missed the playoffs this season....by a lot (7 points)

The Eastern Conference was so top heavy last year that the playoff teams were pretty much set by Thanksgiving. I'd be floored if it took 100 points to make the playoffs again.

Us, Ottawa, Detroit, all made major improvements. NYR, Pit, Wash will all fall back big time. Florida will not have 120 points again either. I'd bet it will take 90-95 points to be the last wild card team.

Not expecting the playoffs, just give me competitive hockey in April.

That was sarcasm. Pure. From sarcasmountains.

Sorry, I missed that!

Columbus and Buffalo also improved and Boston weakened.
