Description
Predicted points leaders shown

I am boring, picking the same playoff teams as last year. A lot of the mid/fringe teams improved but idk if any of them will be able to steal a playoff spot from the incumbents, especially in the East. In the Metro the gap was 16 pts; 32 pt gap in the Atlantic.

West WC2 required 97 pts, should be a good battle for that spot. Not sold on WPG or VAN but they could get in with their goalies. VGK harder to envision unless they get reliable goaltending from their B/C string (it can happen).

I think the battle at the top of the Pacific will be tight amongst the top 3. Central is still pretty clear cut IMO - Avs > Blues/Wild > Stars/Preds/Jets > 50 ft of crap > Hawks/Yotes/Bedard

I still don't see anyone stopping the Avs. They may not be as lethal as last year, but they proved they can win without stellar goaltending.

Pretty safe predictions I think. Maybe Vegas over Nashville as a WC, but that's a maybe.

I'd also have said Tampa to win the cup. Colorado lost Kadri, Keumper, NAK etc. They now have Manson, Georgiev, but Georgiev hasn't proven to have been even as good a Keumper was as a start and with Francouz injury issues, I worry about that. I also cannot see Dallas getting to the WCF. Maybe Calgary... probably Edmonton. If LA takes a step forward with some of their young guys, they could make the finals too, but overall, I agree with most of this

Everybody overrating Sens except here. People don’t understand you need to at least sniff the playoffs, not finish with 73 points, to be in the playoffs the next year. And two additions isn’t going to get you from 73 to 95+.

Agreed. I think OTT will improve quite a bit from the past few seasons - not only with the additions but there should be some internal growth/graduates too - and so will Detroit, but I'd be surprised if either can get into the playoffs. Would take some chaos/injuries/etc.

I have my doubts that the Avs even get back to the Conference finals. I mean, that would be asking for a lot from Newhook, Byram, and Georgiev, all who are still relatively unproven. And Tampa, I still have faith in for a long run, but that will again depend on Vasilevskiy. It was clear at a few points this past postseason that Tampa was clearly burnt out, so I wouldn’t be surprised if they don’t go on a long run this year. I still can’t see Boston making the playoffs this year, especially with the high probability of a terrible start to the season. A bunch of safe picks, but I would argue that the Avs aren’t winning the cup this year.

Yeah I'm def taking the safe route here. I think the Bruins have enough depth to weather the injury storm early on but something crazy usually happens so maybe they will fall apart. As for the Avs, they lost 4 games in the entire postseason last year, and Kuemper was amongst the worst goalies in playoff GSAx. They're the favorites to win again and I don't think anyone improved enough to compete with them in the West, even if they take a step backward from last season's dominance. If you put the stats aside and factor in the emotion that every team will be gunning for them and trying to make it a bloodbath, there is a path for their exit but I'm not predicting it.

2 elite additions* the biggest question mark is their dcore. I can see them finishing higher than Detroit and maybe even boston, depending how their first stretch is with injuries and new coaching.

Even losing Kadri, Kuemper and Burakovsky the Avs are the most talented team in the west, the defense is the best in the league, Georgiev is a legit question mark and I do think championship hangovers are a real thing but this team knows the only thing that matters going forward is the playoffs. They won every series on the road in the playoffs.

Yeah, I think the three rising Atlantic teams will kind of cancel each other out, and the Metro will end up with both WC this season. There will be a lot more parity in the east this year than last, that's for sure.

I think people overlook that they were still a terrible team last year, not just average. They can be a high energy, high scoring team at times, but it seems like they only get their best performances against bad teams, which won’t cut it to be a playoff team. They need to at least be average before they make the playoffs. They may finish above Detroit, but Boston still has a far better team, and was far better last year. And it’s not really like they got worse at all with the addition of Krejci. But I could be a little bias.

I wouldn't even think to compare their team from last year compared to this year. D-core still lacks yes, but that top 6 is really nice, all it takes is a past playoff team (boston) to slip. Not hating on boston but their in a tough spot, still a top 10 team when healthy, those first few months could be scary. I could see Boston and Ottawa maybe competing for a wildcard spot

Ottawa would need a lot of stuff to go their way, I'm not looking at them as a lock for the playoffs, but they definitely aren't out of the question like past years.

I think you’ve under estimated the Kraken. They’ve significantly improved their offense with Beniers, Wright, Burakovsky and Bjorkstrand added. Their goalies are a little suspect but I think they win more games this year. Same with Montreal maybe swap with Philly? Swap Seattle with Chicago at least?

Ottawa’s top 6 is very good now, I will not doubt that. All great players who could all be point per game this year. But Boston’s top 6 when healthy is still better I’d say but it’s close. Boston’s third line this year when healthy will be very good, three 40 point scorers including 15-20 goals each most likely. Then Boston is much better everywhere else, defense and goaltending. Yes there are injuries to start the year. Grzelcyk is out maybe 10 games, McAvoy 20 games, and Marchand also 20 games. But this team still has a well performing defense without those 2, and if the offense holds up, they’ll be just fine.

I completely agree, boston is by far a better all around team when healthy. Hopefully bruins can fight off those first few weeks and be a .500 team, if so I think they have no problem with making the playoffs.

Yeah I agree but I think they can be an above .500 team in the beginning stretch. I still think the roster is very good even without those injured guys.

I think Edmonton can play with Colorado. I don't know that they're better, but the two teams are pretty equal IMO.
