Hmmmm probably not. It's all sorts of skilled but they are sooooo damn young. Like too young. But I could see them slipping in. The issue if they would have to get a Wild Card spot in order to make it b/c I wouldn't say they are better than TBL, BOS, or TOR. But give this team 1 more year and they are definitely in.

Probably not. With juggernauts like Tampa, Boston, and Toronto in the division, it’ll be tough. They’ll have to battle it out with Florida, Buffalo, and Montreal, who will all be pushing hard for a playoff spot next year. The team is too inexperienced and with 2 rookies at center, I can’t see it. But definitely a bright future

I mean they'd be fringe, but making it into the playoffs in a WC spot and then getting eliminated in the 1st round would be worse off for the rebuild than missing out and finishing bottom 10 with a chance for a top 5 pick. I'd like to see them sign a d-man in the offseason and try to dump one of their old ones, but other than that might as well stay and have one more losing year.
