Your 2024-2025 hot takes

[Idunkmyoreos]

Bruins have very successful season, and Sweeney is recognized as executive of the year- as he plays hard ball with Swaymen and his agent. Each week of season he has not signed the contract dollars are decreased, and contract length is reduced a year. At December 1 he tells Swayman see you in July,

Do not see this happening but agents and players need to be taught a lesson.

 

[Alex K]

Claude Giroux is a PPG player

 

[TheDawnOfANewTage]

The Sabres get into legal trouble for pillaging cities. PLD actually looks decent.

 

[bland]

Jeannot gets 20 goals playing with Danault and Moore. The Doughty injury is a giant blessing in disguise as both Spence and Clarke emerge into impact producers. Kuemper somehow regains form, and the Kings youth overachieves into home ice and misses the Edmonton first round matchup.

Zegras is dealt by January.

 

[CraigBillington]

Jim Benning gets hired.

Cmonnnnnnn Edmonton

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Kings are an 80 point team and miss the playoffs. Rob Blake is fired and Bergevin takes over.
In before this is actually a reasonable take.

Stealing this for future use.

Bergevin wouldn't even be able to run a cornerstore properly, let alone a NHL team

 

[Sniper99]

all Canadian teams are relocated to Mexico

after being in the cold for my nephews high school football game tonight, I can get behind this.

 

[Coffees]

Nishushkin wins the Conn Smythe win 30 points in 22 games.

I agree

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Toronto maple leafs will end up playing a goalie in the playoffs who isn’t currently on their roster

 

[Bounces R Way]

Berube threatens to permanently maim a Toronto reporter.
Blue Jackets shock everyone and narrowly beat out the Hurricanes for a Metro wildcard.
Nashville wins the Presidents Trophy.
Trouba enters the player's assistance program after photos of him at a furry convention dressed as an American Long-tailed Weasel surface on social media.

Gary Bettman quits his job as commissioner to follow his lifelong dream of being the most sought after gigolo in Newark.

 

[Grate n Colorful Oz]

Cam Neely becomes a full time member of the Actors Guild by end of next week.

 

[Nogatco Rd]

Ovechkin scores less than 20 goals and the Caps are firmly out of the playoffs by Xmas

 

[archangel2]

Oilers miss the playoffs

 

[Puckstop40]

Georgiev wins the Vezina.

 

[Lunatik]

I'll throw out a few, some hotter than others.

1. Vegas wins the Pacific
2. Utah makes the playoffs
3. Flames finish bottom 3 in the league
4. Capitals make the playoffs
5. Colorado wins the Stanley Cup

 

[Svencouver]

Flames make the playoffs and beat Edmonton in r1
Hughes back to backs the Norris
Crosby wins the Hart and the Pens make the ploffs
Leafs win the cup

 

[dirtydanglez]

devils win the east.

mcdavid 175.

ottawa and buffalo in.

 

[Rafafouille]

Kuch gets injured, Guentzel doesn’t gel and Tampa misses the playoffs

Nashville makes the SCF

Does that even need to happen? They were only 7 points up on Detroit with Kuch having 144 points and zero injuries outside of sergachev who's gone anyway. I feel them making it is more unlikely than likely at this point.

 

[byrath]

Typing this knowing it will never happen…..

Vegas gets a good streak of health. With Stone playing 76 games, Eichel playing 80 and Adin Hill taking fifty…..fifty-one starts, the Knights dogfight with Vancouver and Edmonton for tops in the division, falling to second.

I would love to see that, Stone plays a hard game and it would be awesome for him if his back feels good enough to play a full season. I wouldn't wish back problems on ... very many people.

 

[ffh]

Nope. Jets and Sabres drought both continue another year at least

What drought are the jets in

 

[Lunatik]

What drought are the jets in

0 Stanley Cups is my guess

 

[ffh]

0 Stanley Cups is my guess

That's half the league isn't it.

 

[Dueling Banjos]

The Panthers fan base increases from 6 to 7 fans.

I want my 35$ lower bowl winter break tickets back

 

[kevistar]

Columbus will use gaudreau's death as a motivation and will make the playoff

 

[David Bruce Banner]

The penny finally drops for Kakko and he puts up 60 points.
