Your 2024-2025 hot takes

[Coffees]

With the season set to open in a few days with Devils vs Sabres in Europe, it feels right to get all of your hot takes out there now before the real games start. The hotter the better.

I'll start:

1. The Bruins have their playoff spot taken by either the Sabres or Senators and miss for the first time in a while.
2. Utah makes the playoffs
3. Leafs win the cup

There’s no such thing as a hot take in the modern NHL
