Speculation: Season Predictions

[smithformeragent]

For the sake of this discussion, let’s focus on solely the regular season results and let’s assume that Swayman misses at least the start of the season.

If you want to hedge your prediction based on if/when Swayman signs and/or what they get in return on a trade, feel free!

Have fun!

Hard to say. I think it’s likely the leafs keep it close. And they are in the same division. So they probably don’t win the division easily but still challenge for the presidents trophy. Can’t sleep on the leafs.

3rd/wild card, highest odds. Offense is lacking greatly. Playoff team certainly.

However there is defense and size, toughness. We should be entertained with physicality win or lose.

Bumping now that Swayman is in the fold!

First round exit, and decisively. Anything beyond that will/would be almost entirely on the back of goalie luck

Still concerned about team speed and goal scoring, but I think we will solidify an identity this year as being difficult to play against and I like our defense/goaltending a lot.

Elite coach
Elite goaltending
Elite defense
Elite first forward line (hypothetically, Marchand/Lindholm/Pastrnak)

Too many ingredients here to bomb the season. We look like a semi-contender. Need another elite forward to be a major contender.

I think its another year like 2 seasons ago. Enough options up front that scoring won't be an issue and the D and G are loaded.

Not as confident in us over 7 games vs the other elite teams in the East but regular season I expect us to be dominant and be around the record for points.

They will get in as division champs or 2 or 3 in division. Then a team finally built for the playoffs will shine. Defense and goaltending win in the playoffs, Marchand, Lindholm, Pata, Frederic should score enough for a deep run. Ideally add a 25 goal RW at the deadline.

Lysell plays whole year in Providence and then leaves to play in Europe next year.

Swayman wins Vezina.

Kastellic and Zadorov become fan favorites, healthy Max Jones leads team in hits.

Brazeau gets 20
