The Jackets should be shooting for the top seed in the metro, but realistically I can see them getting that 2nd seed - which I will be very happy with. Postseason-wise, I really do think they can cause some damage. Looking at what happened this year, I have no doubt they can hang with any of the teams in the Eastern Conference, maybe with exception to the Bruins. Eastern Conference Finals will be a successful season in my mind.

 

[Cowumbus]

success to me is anything that causes a banner to be hanging in the raftors at NWA

 

[EspenK]

I went with win a series. That is a first step.

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Keep building and building on success. Win a round and compete in the 2nd round. Steady growth and improvement

I'm with you and Espen on this.

 

[major major]

Win a round or hit 100 points.

 

[Sore Loser]

I went with win 2 rounds because I'm feeling optimistic about how things are shaking down this offseason already. It's a group built for playoff success ... just getting there now won't be good enough. We have to win some games.

Make it happen, guys!

 

[Viqsi]

I'm content if we make the playoffs. I'll call it a success and improvement if we win a few. I'll be quite happy if we win a round. Anything beyond that is ****ING AWESOME.

 

[Socks]

I expect the playoffs now. I expect to win some games. I think we have a shot to win a series and from there the sky is the limit.

 

[Fro]

went with "Win A Round" but WAY too early for this...we don't have a final team or know what our division looks like...so can't answer fully honest...

 

[BluejacketNut]

Success would be a series win. Playoffs are expected

 

[Big Z Man 1990]

Well, not losing to Pittsburgh would be a start. But ultimately, I want the Cup. When was the last time a Midwest team other than Detroit or Chicago won the Cup? Never. The North Stars did not win until after they moved to Dallas. As well, the Blues and Wild have yet to win the Cup. And you all know that the Barons never got a chance to compete for the Cup, they merged with the North Stars before that happened. As well, the Scouts didn't win until after they moved to New Jersey (who is now in our division).

That, too, will be a nice change. Bring on the new whipping boy!

I'd be really rather irritated by this comment if it didn't have such an undeniably overwhelming basis in fact.

lol.... Howson and RJ are both gone now... The good news is Viqsi hardly complained when Nash wanted out of dodge...

 

[Viqsi]

lol.... Howson and RJ are both gone now...

And I've been vindicated in both debates. But why keep score?

 

[fox2usp]

Progress

 

[EspenK]

What is wrong with us? Almost 75% agreement.

 

[Jackets16]

Make the playoffs. Anything can happen once you get there. I don't know how anyone can say making the playoffs, but losing in the first round, is not a success. Sure, we may think we can win a round or two, but it's not a failure if we don't.

 

[DEF]

Time to step it up. With a healthy Horton, the addition of Hartnell and growth of several younger players, home ice in the first round is realistic. We are a western style team in the east. With the exception of Boston, we should match up well with any eastern team.

 

[Cash for Nash]

Poll coming.

To me a successful season is making the playoffs, an unsuccessful season is missing the playoffs. It's that simple for me. So....make the playoffs dammit.

 

[alphafox]

Success is winning a round, failure is missing the playoffs (unless that gets us McDavid or Eichel)

 

[CBJWerenski8]

Hopefully that is ulra-failure?
