11-20 until we know how they play next season. If Hughes and Nemec take steps back they're in trouble. Siegenthaler has to be better too. They're probably in the top 13 or whatever

 

[Three On Zero]

Between 1-32

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

4-10 but at the lower end of that group.


A lot of upside in a few guys, but for now it's just upside. And on the flip side, a few guys who are prime candidates for regression.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Just like their forward group , best since the 1987 Oilers

 

[dirtydanglez]

somewhere before 10 but after 5. they'll climb quickly as nemec and hughes get experience.

All depends on how Hughes and Nemec are next season.. I love the Dillon acquisition for NJ.. I voted in the 11-20 mark(closer to 11 than 20)

Where would Trouba play on our blueline?

don't you know? They want to get rid of their captain who've they loved and defended for years.

Top 10. They lack a true game breaking #1D.

Hamiltons 74 pts isn't game breaking enough?

Bold strategy Cotton.

4-10, will only crack the top 3 when Hughes eventually cracks the top pairing. Left side is way weaker than the right. The right side is one of the best in the league.

We also have the 6’7 Silayev who plays on the left. He should be heading over by the time Luke is ready to take over.

 

[WhiskeyYerTheDevils]

I'd say around 12-16.

 

[Regal]

Too many questions to answer yet. Is Hamilton back to himself after missing almost the whole year? Can Siegenthaler bounce back? Do Hughes and Nemec take steps forward? How does Pesce fit on a new team and can he bounce back as well? They could end up top 5 if the vets all play like they have at their best and the 2 sophomores improve. For now I’d say the 10-15ish range.

I look forward to Rangers fans calling him a dirty POS just like the rest of us. They'll turn on him so quickly once he's no longer on their team.
