Ouch. Buffalo second.

That said, it takes a big person to admit they were wrong... a bigger person to actually post a blog and demonstrate how wrong they were. Have to respect that.

Meh. Don't be so hard on yourself. If you could actually predict such things with accuracy you would not be wasting your time blogging for us cretins.

Also, I'm sure you could have been a lot more accurate if you had made bland, boring predictions, but what's the fun in reading that? You chose to be bold and swung for the fences on a lot of these.

I actually stand by that.

Hjallmarsson was injured a lot this year, and Chychrun missed the entire first half.

But: OEL, Demers, Goligoski, Chychrun and Hjallmarsson is, if not the very best, among the best.

Also, weird fact: with a healthy Annti Raanta the Coyotes (who can't score) allow some of the lowest goal totals in town.

To be fair, the only prediction here that seemed absolutely bonkers was Klefbom winning the Norris.

I can sort of see how he was making some strides last season and you could potentially see him subsequently scoring more points and playing more minutes in 2017/18... but to be a Norris winner? Yikes.

Having said that, it's hard to fault some lofty predictions for clubs like Buffalo, Edmonton, and Arizona -- all 3 are loaded with potential. Hard to imagine predicting them to be the dumpster fires they turned out to be this season.

What a season of misery! Of all the predictions you had to get right, it had to be the Blackhawks missing the playoffs?

Everything in Network basically came true. You can watch that movie a zillion times, it never gets old. In my top five of all time for sure.

Don't beat yourself up, no matter how bad your predictions were, they'll never top Ek's rumors and trade prognostications.

Here is my prediction. It will be years before the Sabres finish in second place. There is a ton of work ahead for management.

He may very well be really good in the future. He's not there yet. OEL is also criminally overrated, hjalmarsson is good, demers is decent.

This is not a top-5 defense
