Cant see the Isle as the surprise in the East, imo the Tavares contract arena issues will dog the team for most of the year, resulting in a 10th place finish in the conference. jmo.

Rangers and Devils will be fighting for last in the Metro. Both teams suck

I've enjoyed this site for years, but it feels like it's moved away from rumors and it's main focus is as a blog site now. I'll be honest, I never, ever, came here for blogs. The only reason I check this site is for the rumors . . . silly, outrageous, and yes, once in a blue moon, bang on. Anyway, like I said above, that seems to be almost completely gone. We need a computer guy with lots of time on his hands to go back and track how many of the posts are rumors vs this stuff. I bet you'd see a line that resembles a downhill ski hill. I can tell you this . . . my clicks on this site are following the same pattern. Later.

I'm very creative and good at making up stuff, want me to start a rumour blog?

To much talent to not be a playoff team. 94pts last year and thats with the team being an utter disaster till Christmas under Capuano. I say Top 3 in Metro

Very fair

The Yotes can be a really big surprise this year, they add some really good pieces, a lot of good youngsterz..good mix !

A lot of you guys are just naming good teams. How is Toronto a surprise? They were good last year, they have more experience, and added more to their team for this year, so yea, they'll be better. Same goes for Carolina. They were pretty decent last year and they made some obviously good pickups.

The blog is about surprise teams. I think WPG is a surprise because people are counting out Mason as a starting goalie. I think the Islanders are a decent pick as well

I think you're right about the West but I have to put ARI there too. Lots of people are still picking them as a basement team, I feel they've done enough to make the playoffs. In Chayka we trust..

I think the surprise team in the east will be Montreal. They're going to do something meaningful with that cap space at some point, Julien will have all hands on deck, Drouin will put up 65+ points playing center and they'll challenge TB as the top team in the Atlantic.

If any of what you says bout Montreal happens it will indeed be a surprise...

You're a sweet person

I personnally think that last year's surprise in the East was Columbus more than Ottawa.

In 2017-18, Carolina and Winnipeg will be the rising teams (faster than expected). They both have great young talents, specially at defense for Carolina and forwards for Winnipeg. Fun teams to watch!

Can't wait for the season to start...
