Pettersson is gonna win the Hart

Oilers finish bottom 2 in the north and we see major changes in the off season.

40 points is a breakout year?

No chance, but the art Ross? I could see that.

In 56 games I’d say so

Compared to his awful first season i guess.

I mean if he wins the Art Ross he probably wins the Hart

McDavid wins the Art Ross in a walk but gets snubbed by Hart voters in favour of MacKinnon.

What's with all the love for the Knights? Hasn't anyone looked at their center depth recently??

Oh?

my entire awards predictions

Art Ross - McDavid hm: MacKinnon, Draisital
Calder Trophy -Lafreniere hm: Stutzle, Kapritzov
Conn Smythe Trophy - MacKinnon hm: Makar, Grubauer
Selke Trophy -Stone hm: Bergeron, Danault
Hart Trophy - Eichel hm MacKinnon, Matthews
Ted Lindsay Award - McDavid (Vasilevskiy, Hedman)
Jack Adams Award - Julien hm: Quenneville, Laviolette
Norris Trophy - Rielly hm: Josi, Hedman
Rocket Richard -Ovechkin hm matthews, pastrnak
GM of the Year - Bergiven (Joe Sakic, Kevyn Adams)
Jennings - Price-Allen (Rask-Halak, Grubauer-Francouz)
Vezina- Andersen (Vasilevskiy, Price)

but defence, wingers and goaltenging is strong

Lol I had the bruins and penguins missing the playoffs and everybody told me I was wrong

Yes in 56 game season, on pace for around 60 points

I think at least one of them will miss due to the East Division being so strong

Exactly, who do you think will make it in the East

Okay. Would 60 points be a breakout season for a number one overall pick in normal times? That seems like a super low bar for a breakout.

Flyers, Caps, Islanders, Bruins/Penguins. Rangers or Sabres could make it but probably wont.

Based on his rookie year, I think 60 points could be realistic for a 19 year old.

Is it enough though? I've never seen a team win the Cup with such weakness at the center position. Have you?

how good was Chicago at Center?

Which year?

Toews / Sharp were a pretty strong 1-2 punch - better than anything Vegas has for sure.

2010
Toews: 22, 7-22-29
Sharp: 22, 11-11-22

2013:
Sharp: 23, 10-6-16
Toews: 23, 3-11-14

2015:
Toews: 23, 10-11-21
Richards: 23, 3-11-14

Also, prime-Keith was better than Pietrangelo is today and Kane was a greater offensive force than anything Vegas has.
