Atlantic Standings Predictions Thread

Hopefully both punk ass Ontario teams will also miss the playoffs (which is likely already with Ottawa)

With Swayman Bruin finish top 3: Leafs, Panthers, Bruins, Tampa, Ottawa, Detroit, Buffalo, Montreal.
Without Swayman the division changes: Leafs, Panthers, Tampa, Ottawa, Detroit, Boston, Buffalo, Montreal.

What about Mid-season swayman?!

There was a single moment last season that summed up how awful Granato and his staff were: In his first game Byram is on our PP. Having played for one of the best coaches in the league in Colorado he knows what players should be doing in this situation. His new teammates were doing anything but, and an exasperated Byram literally starts pointing with his stick and directing guys where they should be and what they should be doing. If you watched the preseason games under Lindy the difference is night and day.

I had erased that from my memory, Mike. Thanks a lot.

Imo playing without Swayman to start the year will damage the Bruin’s too much to recover. If it’s only a handful of games, that’s different. But if it’s 20 games the hole dug (in the standings and in the room) will be too deep to climb out of. The bottom in that division will climb over the Bruins.

I do not expect:
Florida to miss
Montreal to make it

I will be surprised but not shocked if:
Boston misses
Toronto misses
Detroit makes it

I could see it going either way for:
Tampa
Buffalo
Ottawa

I'm not going to make any grand declarations about the Sabres making the playoffs, but we're definitely better than Detroit and Ottawa
