Both were within 6pts of a playoff spot last year with .890 and .895 goaltending . And both were the 2 youngest teams in the league. If their young players take another step and goaltending is avergae instead of terrible there’s no way they don’t

There is a way they don't. That way is that Ottawa finish 6-7th in the division and Buffalo barely misses. Plus who are they making it over. IMO Buffalo might be able to squeak in but Ottawa won't

Ottawa is deeper than they were last year and have better goaltending and a better defence. There isn’t a way

AI TinTin try not to start controversy challenge (Impossible)

How many publications questioned the Bruins making the playoffs last year? Just saying

Do you anticipate Levi will be better than the young goalie who was supposed to improve last year? I get it. The appeal of youth is there. Usually when it happens, it’s a significant step up or they remain mired in mediocrity.

There is a way. That way is they finish way lower due to lackluster defense and terrible goaltending

They don’t have either of those

Yes they do. Korpisalo is not that good, and IMO Sens defense isn't that strong

These sum it up in a nutshell. Obviously the trade still stings. The demise of Pavel Zacha and Zacha is a bum?? Get over it already and act like a big boy.

OP isn't a Devils fan. That's an alt account of a VERY prominent Sens fan on this forum.
The name came as a consequence of an in-joke that went a little too far.

Also, Devils would take a do-over on Haula for Zacha one for one every day of the week.
There isn't a bigger secondary assist merchant in the NHL than Zacha at this point in time, hope the Bruins will enjoy his empty-calorie scoring for the next 4 years (to a tune of 4.75m lmao)

The Bruins will take a 26 year old Zacha at 4 x 4.75 as opposed to the Devils paying a 32 year old Palat 6M per for the next 4 years, that's for sure.
