Now that all the big name free agents have signed, what are your predictions in standings for the 2024-25 NHL season?

Bottom 5 in the league will still be Chi, CBJ, Anaheim, SJ and the new addition of Calgary instead of Montreal.

Still to early to say on some teams.
Right now Dallas will 100% be worse than last year, that's the only prediction i'd make

Watch out for Buffalo. I think Ruff will do well with that team

Whoa, whoa!

Don't discount Montreal's tanking skills.

The Flames aren’t even trying in FA. Which is the correct move. They won’t be anywhere close to the cap. The tank is on.

Edit: Even with their new contracts they’re still 20 million under the cap and I wouldn’t expect them to make any big moves.

PACIFIC
Vancouver (should be good again -- they have a lot to prove)
Edmonton (I don't think the Oilers care about regular season)
Vegas (still quite good, but not as good as last year)

Seattle (hard to call -- could surge, but I doubt it)
Los Angeles (i don't understand this club's management moves)
Calgary (going down, down down...)
Anaheim (still bad, I guess?)
San Jose (bad)

I am not sure if you inadvertently missed a few teams, but I could see Buffalo being relegated to the AHL (not Minnesota though).

Conroy is doing a good job there. A top 3 pick would really make that "reset" look nice.

My apologies I will fix that.
