Agreed, love the team and love to watch whatever the record, but they will take the fight for a WC spot to the final week or two and fall short, again.

If there is no significant trade/addition on D, we're borderline. I think more likely they'll be on the driving range, but maybe we scrape in too.

Squeak in as the 8th seed. I think they get better in a couple years but do not take a leap forward this year unless they do some sort of trade that nets them a defenseman or someone unexpected steps up.

Mostly not serious input..
Didn't have the horses the past 2 years, and no reason to believe anything is any different , if not worse because Chara is older.
I say top ten pick unless Rask or Khudobin play out of their minds.

I like this edition of the Bruins better than I liked either of the 2015 or 2016 editions.
Problem is, I like the rest of the Eastern Conference more this year than last year as well. A lot of the "gimme" points that they could almost bank on vs. the likes of TO, Buff, Car, etc. aren't going to be so easy to obtain this year.
I think we know what we'll get for the most part out of the veterans and young established players like Krug, Spooner, and Pastrnak . This team is well coached, Rask will benefit from having a quality back-up (and someone who can push him) in Khudobin.
It will depend a lot on the rookies. How much of an impact will the likes of Heinen, Czarnik, Vatrano, Acciari, O'Gara, Carlo, Colin and Morrow have.
I don't expect any help to arrive via trade until the March 1st deadline at the earliest. If all goes according to plan, they may not need a whole lot of help.
And as always, injuries can derail even the best of teams.
I think the Habs (with a healthy Price) and TB are locks in the Atlantic. They'll battle Florida and Ottawa for 1 or 2 playoff spots. It might come down to how they compete directly against those two teams that will determine whether they make it or not.

If the team stays as is......Chara Mcquaid Will get plenty of ice time and we will be fighting with Buffalo and Detroit for 5th place... no playoffs
If we would cut ties with these guys we could finish last or maybe be surprised and finish 4th... Tampa Montreal Florida are finishing 1, 2 and 3.. Ottawa 4 for now..

Interesting to look back and see what we thought of the Bruins chances in 2016-17.
I am sad the season is over but it was unrealistic to think they could go much further than they did.

I came close on 3 out of four of my predictions.
I said they would finish no lower than WC and considering they tied in point with Toronto that is close. I said 94 - 97 points 95 is in range. I said personnel change mid-season to trade deadline (I was thinking players but coaching works just as well). I missed out on riding youth into the playoffs.
Nostradamus I am not; but considering how many prophecies are open to interpretation, not bad. Lol.

You said 97, they only got 95
Plus, I'm not convinced Bjork goes the Vesey route.
I was surprised that there were actually quite a few people (myself incl) that had them picked 3rd. Lou didn't have anything on Bjork, but he did say 3rd and 95-97 points.
I also had them on playoffs last year but who's counting

Next: CZ SP-01 Tactical!
I forgot about my forecast... Said 94 + WC spot, they got 95 and 3rd in the Division. Not too shabby, if I may say.

Like other Bruins senior recent draft picks (McIntyre Grzelcyk Fitzgerald) at the competition of his senior year
He will play out his career get his degree play with his brother I believe then have a year burned off his ELC and get the max in incentives and sign with Boston
