Atlantic Standings Predictions Thread

[Beezeral]

It is time for the most entertaining thread of the offseason.

Is this the year the Sabres/Senators/Habs make a leap?

Is progression linnear for the Red Wings?

Will the Bruins/Lightning finally fall off?

What kind of cup hangover will the Panthers have?

Will the Core 4 stay in tact through the season?

Get your hot takes in now. Let's see if we can make it the entire offseason without getting this thread locked/deleted.

My predictions.

1. Leafs
2. Bruins
3. Panthers
4. Tampa (WC)

5. Red Wings
6. Sabres
7. Senators
8. Habs

A few people will declare they have arrived after their winning of the October cup. Then they're out of the playoff picture in January. Death, taxes....

I predict the Atlantic will continue to be overrated in order to excuse Leaf’s failures.

1. Leafs
2. Bruins
3. Panthers
4. Tampa (WC)

5.Senators
6.Red Wings
7. Sabres
8. Habs

The top 4 have been pretty consistent for years now don't really see it changing. Senators I might have given a chance if Travis green wasn't the coach.

Is it overrated if they have won 3/5 of the last cups?

 

[TheNumber4]

Is it overrated if they have won 3/5 of the last cups?

With Tampa regressed as they have. Yes.

 

[PROUD PAPA]

Is it overrated if they have won 3/5 of the last cups?

Boston

Tampa Bay
Detroit
Buffalo
Ottawa
Montreal

An Atlantic team has either won or been to the cup final many times over the last while

 

[TheNumber4]

Yes due to Bolts. Bolts are now regressed. And Cup winners of recent also include the Avs and Knights.

Are you doing that thing again where you ignore that the Florida panthers exist?

 

[TheNumber4]

No that's assumed in my reply. Besides, the narrative has existed way before the Panthers won.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

No way Toronto finishes top two in the Atlantic. Still way too soft, weak, fragile and heartless. No NHL #1 goalie. Mediocre defense. Too steeped in failure at their core.

They play well in the regular season its just when the postseason hits.

 

[SheldonJPlankton]

They play alright in the regular season. Never a President's Trophy contender. Very seldom a division leader. Usually a bubble playoff team on the upper edge of the playoff bubble.

Do you really think they'll finish ahead of Florida or Boston with a #1 goalie who is often injured and has played less than 40 NHL games in his career and a piecemeal uninspiring defense?
