Thanks for your thoughts. Defending Cup champs Vegas in 4th in the Pacific?
Lots of close races, gotta think injuries will be a factor.

I have them second

Hot take but Seattle doesn’t make the playoffs this year and Vancouver does

Switch Ottawa and Florida. Ottawa gets the last playoff spot

Nope. I think BUF/Florida and PIT will be the wildcards. Ottawa misses

Really accurate predictions. I agree with all of these division spots. Question though, who do you think gets the east wild card. I personally think it will be one of Florida and Buffalo and then Pittsburgh

Canucks > Flames

Ottawa will not miss

Thanks for the correction. I hate to sound like a homer, but I like this Leaf team better than previous years. Only thing is how to manage the cap, and NHL Dmen better not get injured, cause I can't see anyone with the Marlies that are NHLers now (hope I'm wrong)

I think it's a certainty that they add to the defence at the deadline.

Pretty much what I think too

For me it's more the fact that Boston and Tampa have regressed, I don't think they're better than the Leafs at least on paper

Yes they will. They will be right ahead of Detroit and Montreal and will miss the playoffs. The Pens, Isles, Sabres, Bruins, TB Toronto and Panthers are better than them

Delusional. They have 8 forwards that can get 20+ goals and have 4 Dmen that could get 40+ pts. They’re not missing

I'm delusional huh. Not everyone is going to agree with you. I personally think Ottawa misses and Buffalo misses ( barely) while PIT, BOS, Florida, TB, Toronto, Canes, NYR amd devil's make it. Many others also agree with me on the belief Ottawa will miss. It's just my opinion

No one watches Ottawa. I did, I know what went wrong and I know how much they improved . I would bet everything I had they don’t get anything below 90 and that’s if everything goes wrong. They’ll be much better than 90pts

I didn't watch much of Ottawa last year, but I did watch quite a bit of the other teams. When I did watch Ottawa, I was not too impressed. IMO BUF, PIT, Isles, BOS, Florida, TB and Florida are all better. And also if no one watches Ottawa wouldn't that mean they have no fan base? And then wouldn't you not watch them?
