Much better chance at finishing dead last

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Much better chance at finishing dead last

No. There is absolutely no chance of that as long as Chicago and San Jose are in the NHL. But they could finish bottom 10.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Depends on Lane Hutson and injuries

 

[Skip Bayless]

Lane Hutson sent back to the AHL

 

[Sasha Orlov]

No. There is absolutely no chance of that as long as Chicago and San Jose are in the NHL. But they could finish bottom 10.

Habs finish lower than both

 

[WeThreeKings]

Probably between "in the mix" and being a bottom 5 team in the league.

A pick between 7-12.

 

[Hannibal]

I think we still gonna suck. Our depth at offence is terrible and i don’t see how Dvo, Anderson and cie can give us more.

 

[Deebs]

Absolutely everything would have to go right for us to make he playoffs and of course that happening is slim. I would like to see us playing some meaningful games late in the year just because it would be good for our development.

I think we finish between 20-25th in the league but much more competitive.

 

[Lockin17]

I think we'll end up having the 11th to 15th draft pick missing the playoff by a bit.

 

[Kosseca]

I think that the team will have some good stretch during the season, but will lack the offensive depth to win all season long. Should any major injury occurs again, they'll finish bottom 5 again, if not... finish around bottom 10.

 

[Karma Police]

I don't expect playoffs out of our team, we're still rebuilding. I want to see progress in certain areas

- Progress on our powerplay
- I want to see progress in Caufield game, mostly the scoring area. I want him to become a bit more selfish this year.
- I want Slafkovsky to establish himself as a true top line winger this year, No expectations as to how many points he gets, but the play that he brings
- I want our young D core to progress, we need to be better defensively if we aspire to be contenders in the years to come

I expect us to finish outside of the top 20 and I'm fine with it. I want a show, I want face paced games, I don't care if we lose 5-4, 4-3, I care more if we lose by multiple goals.

 

[yianik]

I think we pick 10-12 OA. But if we move guys out en masse at TDL likely lower. So if we trade Savard , Armia for instance we finish lower than 10-12. Maybe then it's 8 to 11.

 

[zx81]

We'll be decent on ES and atrocious in special units. We''ll get tons of injuries. We will lose all our games against the Sens.

Oh wait it's a description of last season.
Still stands unfortunately.

Bottom 7

P.S.
It's not what I hope for. I'm ready to be surprised.

 

[Kents polished head]

- Laine is going to miss MUCH more time than anticipated. Reports of him actually choosing to opt out of surgery does not sound encouraging to me.
- I think Hutson is going to have growing pains. Might even actually get sent back to the AHL at some point.
- I don't think Slaf is going to take the step people expect him to take this season.

On the flipside, I think Dach is going to pick up exactly where he left. I expect Newhook to have a respectable season (45 points). I expect Primeau to give Montembault a healthy run for his money. And I expect Guhle to take a step forward.

All in all, we probably finish bottom-10 again, but not bottom-5.

Cup ya whiny bastards

 

[zzoo]

Whenever I feel bit positive, then my mind leads to Dvorak, Gallagher, Anderson, and sometimes Armia
Should I laugh or cry ?

Maybe smile with Armia contract year and he had a great season finish

I say we draft in the -/+ top 10, something like 9

 

[Trenbohabs]

This team is so NOT ready to push into the no mans land. We absolutely need another ELITE forward in Martone or Hagens, since Dach is a mystery box. We can't have Caufield on the 1st line to be contenders, hes going to have to play on a 2nd line against weaker d men. I expect this to happen. Until we have the worst bottom 9 of the league, we will not go outside the bottom 10. This means 2 more years

Chicago
San Jose
Columbus
Calgary
Montreal
Seattle
No way montreal outplays teams like ottawa buffalo utah and a bunch more to be out of the bottom 10
