buffalo should take that.

trade looks good

yeah id love someone to push Zaitsev to the 3rd pair. If we can have 2 powerful pairings without Zaitsev , the team will look good. I love the forward group

zaitsev... I'm sorry.

Spoiler hot streak to build some excitement for next year, is my guess, all pressure off and tormenting the division

1 injury to Scheifele, Helly or Morrissey and the Jets are out.
1 injury to McDavid or Drai or Nurse and Edmonton is out.
Toronto gets a spot.
Calgary gets a spot.
A bunch of things need to go right for Montreal or Vancouver to mak eit

I expect ottawa out of basement, but not sold on playoffs yet, stasny and any one of demelo/pionk or morrissey and jets out, I assume similar fates in other places, I just expect a cooler start out of Murray before he gets his feet under him, but that’s probably similar to Calgary/Vancouver with new tenders to the team. Some of Ottawa’s future stars on the younger side so they maybe a little slow out of the gate or possibly an advantage. Just glad to see hockey back

yeah same here in a shortened season, a cold or hot streak could make a huge difference. Goalies will be the biggest factor for playoff spots

Will be interesting the splits and approach to the backup, if a solid 50-50 is better or try to get the 40-16, I kinda wonder if they will be some back up left out to dry games, backup and black aces with a load management type scenario

Big believer in vancouver they get a spot due to elite goaltending

Markstrom was the elite goaltender

No holtby had a bad season but hes still an elite goalie and im a major fan of demko and last year vs vegas he showed what hes capable of. Theyre a top 5 goalie pair easy
