Preds will be better. Guaranteed.
I fail to see that. Their 'improvements' to their forwards is completely uninspiring. Hornqvist is their best forward, and when that is the case, you are in serious trouble. I think they will struggle to score more than 2.3 G/G.
Progression of younger players, stronger depth, Weber won't have a slow start after adjusting to a new partner, and Jones.
Last in the division last in the league....no expectations no dissapointment
I just don't see it. Weber had to be in his groove at the end of the season when they finished 1-9-1 with the 1 win over Calgary. Jones won't improve their defense in year 1.
Their forward lines are looking like this:
Stalberg - Cullen - Wilson
Bourque - Fisher - Hornqvist
Smith - Legwand - Forsberg
Hendricks - Gaustad - Nystrom
That is utterly terrible. There are a few 2nd line players like Cullen, Wilson, Fisher, and Hornqvist, a ton of 3rd liners, a 4th line, and a promising rookie.
Just enough to finish outside the playoffs. Winning the draft lottery.
I think you're mistaken on Jones. He can have a Myers type impact right away. As bad as that offense it might still be better than last season.
