I have hard time believing they have less points this year than last year.
Personally I put them right there fighting for 3rd Tampa and Boston should be declining, Florida is a weird team but will be up there. And personally I think buffalo is a good step ahead of Ottawa and Detriot.
Barring injuries I would say this is the year they break the playoff curse

Hard to imagine we do worse than last year...

Well Adams needs his plan to keep developing and hope Levi can handle the grind. Still ? Marks at D hopefully Clifton can step up...

This has to be the year they make the playoffs...
All great comments.
Tampa finished only 8 points ahead of them and they lost Killorn and Colton.
Florida could have a playoff hangover.
Boston and Toronto will still be goodl
Detroit will be MUCH better, while Ottawa will be better with Chychrun the entire season and Kubalik is not DeBrincat but he has 82 goals over the past 4 seasons.
Quinn, Peterka, Krebs, Power, Jokiharju, Levi and Luukkonen (maybe Greenway)
ALL could have break out seasons as Cozens and Mittelstadt did last year.
Fitzgerals, Pilut, Clague, Bryson and Lyubuskin played 200 games last year, nearly all of those games will be played by Clifton, Johnson or Stillman.
They will not have an eight game losing streak nor will they suffer through a 12 game stretch and only pick up 4 points.
EDIT, imagine only 4 pts out of 20 games, 87 pts the other 62!
I stick to my prediction 100 pts, a playoff spot maybe even third in the Atlantic.
