"Pavel Buchnevich The Fake"
Which team with some expectations for success will be the biggest flop this season?
I'm not sure if you are doing it right but you are right.Keefe was a 100x better than Berube so Leafs are going to miss the playoffs.
Am I doing this right?
Flyers will be interesting to watch.
Will the team abandon Torts and turn into a giant cluster#$%# or does Michkov take them on his back and carry them to the playoffs?
Vancouver I could see especially if demko and Hughes miss any significant time.Vancouver - Silovs/Demko both not 100%, defence was downgraded and lacks speed.
Sure I guess so but they have a really solid team.Edmonton - still a wild card, will you get the version that almost lost in the second round? Or the version that made it to the finals? Skinner and Arvidsson are alright additions but both have some big questions marks around them. Coaching groups have more footage to see how Knob runs his plays now.
Is that true with every team?Nashville IMO is one or two seasons ending injury(ies) away to become Calgary 2.0
Is that true with every team?
I think Nashville could be disappointing.
They are a scrappy team and they brought in some talent, but we haven't seen how it gels yet. I'm not saying they miss the playoffs, but maybe they aren't really any better than they were last year.
Could see the Oilers being disappointing because their bottom 3 D is clearly worse and unaddressed (at this point). They also shed a lot of team speed. If Matthew Savoie is somehow ready perhaps that's addressed, but if not then they are older and slower. Skinner could either score 40 or end up a healthy scratch depending on which version of him shows up. I could see Arvidsson and Draisaitl meshing really well unless Arvidsson continues to struggle with his health.
Could see Detroit continuing to flounder particularly if Seider and/or Raymond miss a portion of training camp and then never quite get caught up.
Vancouver - Silovs/Demko both not 100%, defence was downgraded and lacks speed.
It wouldn't surprise me in the least to see Rasmus Andersson wearing a Canuck jersey by the TDL.Vancouver I could see especially if demko and Hughes miss any significant time.
