Even though I would like to see the pens finish that high, I don't see it happening. The highest I see them finishing is second in the division, but third or a wild card spot is more likely

I would be SHOCKED if PIT won the division. I think CAR and NJD will be in the Presidents trophy contention. They're likely in the 3rd to 6th in the division range.

If NJ gets a goalie, good luck. They're on the verge of being a an absolute Wagon.

PIT over CAR AND NJ? Ya ok bro

montreal and chicago are nowhere to be seen in this list LOL (although they would be last anyways)

dont join the PIT bandwagon just because they got karlsson, their core is still aging and there's at least 3 teams better than them objectively (NJD, CAR, NYR)

The Blackhawks and Canadians left the chat

He's probably assuming that everyon will know that they'll be last in there divisions.

It appears the NHL has adopted regulation.

Habs & Hawks relegated?

Zero chance in hell Pittsburgh finishes 1st in the Metro.

1 Carolina
2 New Jersey
3 New York Rangers.
4 Maybe the Penguins but that's still doubtful.

I think they are going to have a hell of a year. Maybe they don’t finish that high in reg season if they start slow getting used to playing together but once they figure it out watch out. I also think they will make another splash at or before deadline.

Nah man Pens are tops this year

Forgot, they’re in now. Could see Chi moving up maybe.

I’m all in on pens I think karlsson can make them the best team in the league. First time 87 has ever had an elite 5v5 playmaker with him.

It’ll happen

I won’t be shocked at all tbh…this team is gonna be scary.

Boston > Sabres & SENs

Offensively maybe. I still expect best case scenario is <110 points and I wouldn't be surprised if Jersey and Carolina are both over 110 competing for the Presidents trophy.

Offensively maybe but defense, goaltending, and health will be the Achilles heel of them and even if they reach their ceiling they will not be better than the Hurricanes or Devils there is just too much talent on those two teams

They have the best top 4 in league who will play 90% of games and when jarry is healthy he is a top 10 goalie?

He devils or canes don’t even come close to the talent on this team….

Maybe but I’ll take pens in playoff series no matter what

Not so sure anymore

Bruins had 44 & 49 more points than Sabres & SENs last year. They’re still better

And then lost huge pieces…

Sabres and sens both got better and bruins got worse

They could lose half the team and not drop 40 points. They still have two really good goalies, Pasta, Marchand, McAvoy, Lindholm…
