Philadelphia & San Jose. I expect them to finish 31st & 32nd, respectively. Sharks don't even have a win yet.

We'll see. Battle of the Basement on Sunday. Montreal @ Philadelphia.
Yeah that's 2 teams I haven't watched. I haven't seen Anaheim yet either.

Leafs may turn it around, even though I think they''re a bunch of pylons on D with suspect goaltending.
No one's prepared to bury the Bruins yet, but man, they look like shit
Bruin looked like crap at the start of last season too and I didn't think they looked that good in their home opener, the Habs were just very, very bad.

Nashville defenders from last year where are you? Told you they're trash playing way above their level. Their roster is worse than ours.

They were being pushed by Saros, and he hasn't been good to start the year. If he doesn't turn it around, they're a bottom 5 team. If he does, they're back in the playoff race again. It's very similar to Price with Montreal. They're success rides with Saros.

It's a long season and they have time to figure things out...

But if their poor start turns into a mediocre season, it'll be yet another example of how big offseason UFA signings are not a guarantee to an improved roster...

Good thing they moved on from Askarov…

Demidov ranked first in prospects outside the NHL. RB ranked 27th with them saying he’d have been ranked higher if not for injuries.

It's hard to argue against Demi, even taking our natural bias into account. Everything he does indicates that he'll be a PPG player in any pro level league he'll play in. He's very easy to project.

I would also say it's been a few weaker drafts in a row with the top guys already in the NHL. Demidov is the only "elite" prospect I see in their top ten. All of those dmen have flaws except Nikishin who we'll have to see how he adapts to less space in the NHL. There's very few great Russian dmen.

Is it safe to say that he is the most dynamic prospect since Lafleur? Name another player that talented since 1971....

Leafs will be fine in the regular season like they always have been in this matthews era.

It's the one playoff win during this window that is approaching 10 years that I see no end in sight for.

They have really pissed away probably their most talented rosters since their original 6 days and have pretty much zero to show for it.
