32 Predictions

ANA - Gibson gets dealt to the East.
BOS - They will regress but still make playoffs.
BUF - Savoie will be the reason Adams and Buffalo miss another playoffs.
CGY - The tear down continues. Will be in lottery.
CAR - Will be 7th in the east despite third and final Metro spot. Too many losses and making their decisions late in the summer will eek them into the postseason.
CHI - Bedard will score 100 points.
COL - No Landeskog, No Nichuskin, No Problem. Makar revenge tour lifts Avs.
CBJ - Gaudreau jersey retirment. Provorov gets traded at half salary for a late first.
DAL - Johnston leads Stars to the WCF again despite the loss of Pavelski.
DET - Playoffs with the Yzerplan coming alive.
EDM - the Cup. Before Leon and Bouchard. Bouch gets $11.5M.
FLA - Runner up. They have their core locked in for the best years of their career and a bleak future. It’s now or never.
LAK - Goaltending will cost Blake his job before the Four Nations.
MIN - Flower dealt and retired as a Pen.
MTL - Laine scores 30.
NSH - Second round.
NJD - Could win the division but need another sniper and more size.
NYI - Sorokin injury costs them playoffs and will struggle out the gate.
NYR - First round upset to Tampa.
OTT - Trade Linus.
PHI - Bring back the Bullies.
PIT - Fire Sullivan before Christmas.
SJ - Full of vibes. Macklin and Smith are the other finalists for the Calder.
STL - Continue the rebuild
TBL - Turnaround year.
TOR - Matthews scores 75
UHC - Playoff bound
VAN - Demko either kills the season or they’re dragged in the final week of the campaign.
VGK - Punch through the season and claim fhe division before being bounced early.
WSH - either makes the playoffs or decides it’s time to rebuild and bring up the bears.
WPG - message will be a touch start but will put up a strong mid season.
