Predict the Atlantic Standings

[Blowfish]

Most of us actually think it is unlikely Buffalo does anything meaningful tradewise until the off season.

Will be interesting to see...perhaps a goalie and a forward?

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Damn, sucks your boy had an awful showing in a big game tonight.

He’s a beast and one of the best forwards in the league…but doesn’t exactly shine on the big stage.

Creeping on up ,

Yes I'm asking what your opinion is backed by for Florida not making playoffs?

My opinion is the teams that have games in hand on Florida have some of the toughest schedules ahead.

Florida plays the next 8 of 9 at home with only road game being in Tampa.
They've been one of the best teams at home for 3 years now.

Duclair is coming back which only helps the top 10 ranked offense.

Bobrovsky is playing some incredible hockey the last 16-17 games.

Let's see your formula for concluding contenders?
Were the 2012 Kings, 2018 Capitals or 2019 Lightning contenders?



Well the fact is free agents are now more eager to sign in Florida.
Youre acting like Florida's core is old?
Oldest core player is Barkov at 27?

In another year or two, a lot of dead weight cap will be gone.
Zito will have 1sts he can deal.

Fact is Florida has been one of the better offensive teams in the league the last 5 years, so the focus should be on defense which they can afford to upgrade in free agency.

Goaltending for any team outside 4-5 teams who have true elite #1G are always praying for consistency in ne

Humm.... 2 points behind with still 2 games in hand

 

[danpantz]

Nope I completely blew that one...Saw an aging team ,like Pittburgh and WASH....Forgot they actually have one of the better top 4,s in the east..Along with a group a good veterans on a mission

Doesn't count, Florida is missing our two top 6Cs, will have to use the injury excuse.

So if Florida finishes above Ottawa, should I quote you or let it slide?

Lol...Just think when we pass you we are missing our number 1 center...

Ok.

Senator fans always seem to have excuses.

 

[topshelf15]

Ok.

Yep because losing your number 1 center for a handful of games is the same losing ours for 75 games

 

[TheImpatientPanther]

Lol...Just think when we pass you we are missing our number 1 center...

"when.." being the key word, let me know when please and thank you!!

Ok.

@topshelf15 can you explain sarcasm and mockery to Nyquil?

You and topshelf15 are quite the TEAM, not a playoff team, but definitely a TEAM

Apparently neither is Florida ,exactly as predicted...President trophy winner... To out of the playoffs with no 1st round pick...But at least you have cap space lol lol

 

[McGarnagle]

4. Boston-99 points (wildcard): I may have had Boston out of the playoffs if the didn’t bring back Bergeron and Krecji. An older team, significant injuries to Marchand and McAvoy will have the Bruins in a tough spot the 1st half. But bringing back 2 good players should give them enough leeway. I like Jim Montgomery but have no idea why Cassidy was fired and not Sweeney. I'd have done it the other way around.

Quoting the OP from August to point out that Boston currently does have 99 points on March 1st.
