Speculation: Great TNT Non-Rangers Prediction Night

[Larrybiv]

So, TNT starts out with saying these 4 teams are potential final 4 teams.
Panthers/Hurricanes and Golden Knights/Avalanche........Very well could be.

So, which team do YOU feel and WHY, is most likely to falter & NOT be there?

Furthermore, which team do YOU feel/predict will likely be the replacement?

Of note; Eichel's Vegas debut. Will he be ENOUGH to tilt the scale in Vegas favor?
Will the team gel enough with his addition? Or, does it change towards negative, because teammates will/may be lost that have been there awhile?
Just curious, what YOUR thoughts are.

Golden Knights.

Panthers. Think they are soft defensively. They might be the 2018-19 Lightning in terms of surprising playoff exits.

Edit: Lightning replace them, if not the Rangers with a hot Igor.

Golden Knights.

That was quick...........but WHY? Please expound. Seems, you believe Eichel will tilt the scales a LOT. I'm thinking the same, BUT, he hasnt played in a very long time...........how GOOD will he be?
Btw, "in game" good on the Panthers, Svechnikov deserved his ass handed to him............if the REFS don't make calls correctly, the PLAYERS have to and SHOULD police the game.

Vegas is winning the Cup if Eichel gets back to 100%. Eichel is that good.

Carolina - Vegas finals

Panthers falter is my guess. I wouldn’t bet on it, but we handled them ok.

Calgary-Avs and Tampa-NYR
Flames playing great, Cooper gets his teams thru, and Shesty helps win a couple rounds

But I still don't wanna spend too many young assets too soon for vet depth

I did, I did! Was what made me want to post this thread. Gonna be an exciting PLAYOFFS.
Just knew they would tie it, but didnt think they'd win it as quickly as they did. A real good win for the Cats.
and especially good result for us.

Amazing to me how solid Vegas is in quite the short amount of time.
Huge "gamble"/risk in getting Eichel, but isn't that just like Vegas in a nutshell?. Go big, or go home.

Just 2 mistakes, their helmets and GG. Or, wasn't it?

neither do I. It's the development thats crucial and the "cheap help" that help provide sustainability.
