A little peek into my crystal balls

Berube will not get along with the punks on the leaf team. Can see it already. Those players (matthews marner nylander) are spoiled entitled brats and will make his life difficult. Wouldn’t want anything like any of those guys near our team.
It will end badly. They’re not winning anything. Hope we destroy them every game we meet.

God I hope this road leads to him getting hired by the Habs

He wouldn't be a bad hire in a certain role. The issue in Ottawa was always that he had too narrow of a functional orientation to be a top manager in an organization.

With that said, I doubt he gets hired anywhere anytime soon because of the implications of how he was let go.

Unless he is getting a nice salary based on his meme value as a hockey meme, he is missing the boat by not doing a podcast. He has nothing to lose by being as incendiary as possible. It's higher risk, but the real money is in running your own thing and selling spots to NordVPN.

Zayne Parekh experienced a lackluster training camp with the Flames, recording zero points and a -1 rating over two games. Conversely, Yak is enjoying an impressive training camp, tallying three points with a goal and two assists, alongside a +2 rating.

We’ll see how things go but not regretting that decision at all rn. Wasn’t a fan of parekh but don’t wish any ill will against him.

The New Jersey Devils are overrated, and it's puzzling why they're viewed as a Cup favorite. Last year, they didn't even make the playoffs! They should be in the "let's make the playoffs first" category
I think they underperformed last year because they had an insane amount of injuries and awful goaltending. Their guys are healthy now and they acquired a goalie - I think they’ll be back to legit contender status this year.

They’re an injury ridden year removed from 112 points, most in franchise history, with significant upgrades.

They may be a playoff team, but I wouldn't consider them cup contenders. They're lucky to be in the Metro; if they were in the Atlantic, they'd struggle to even make the playoffs.

They significantly overachied in that 112 pts season, not saying they are bad, but suggesting a team that won a single round 2 years ago is one of them teams we expect to win the cup is crazy

The graphic had them a tier above of Dal, Col. and Toronto, that's over ratting them for sure.

I see NJ a bit like us. They so badly needed competent goaltending as a start just to be able to reasonably compete. Now they have that and it's put up or shut up.
