He saunters down to secure the nets, not wanting to wait for targets. His blades cut the sounds of NHL strides. His shot blisters off the crossbar at NHL speed, transferred from wrist to stick-tape with the ease you expect from an NHL sniper. He dangles, smoothly and precisely. He smiles when Tampa Bay Lightning forward Jonathan Drouin steps on the ice, as the two exchange saucers and bullet-paced one-timers before the heavy lifting of intense drills play out over the next hour and a half.

If Bishop plays like last year then the Tampa, Pittsburgh and Boston look like the top 3.

Montreal and the Rangers would be the next goup, pretty safely in the playoffs, playing for home ice i the first round.

There are about 8 teams with shots at the last 3 playoff spots.

I think Boston's still the cream of the crop, but hard to argue they're as good as they were last year.

I think Pittsburgh is in trouble. I don't see them at the top of the conference. They'll make the playoffs, but they have a huge amount of change to deal with.

As for Tampa Bay, granted Bishop was great last year. And even if he's not great this year, they have some talent behind him. And I acknowledge they improved, but I find everyone is prematurely putting them on a pedestal. I don't think they're better than the Canadiens.

Don't like the Neal move, to start with. Don't like Fleury. I like the Erhoff signing, and with Martin and Letang, and Maata, they can move the puck, but I'm curious how they go about keeping it out of their own net. I get firing Bylsma for the playoff matchups and the way he handled them, but to think they should be playing differently than the style he preached seems wrong.

A lot of turnover in the front office and the coaching staff is tough. Still have two of the best in the world, but if either goes down (as at least one of them has per season over the last 5), not sure how they do.

Everett is a playoff team unlike Saskatoon that was terrible. Not a lot of top flight players outside of their other Russian Nikolishin, but a better team at the very least. Austin Lotz is a good junior goalie.

I'll be honest I actually don't know how good they are, I only know of the real elite teams from the leagues. I just figured the only reason they used to compete a few years ago was mainly Murray and he's gone, so they're probably bottom end of the pack. I could be totally wrong.


Edit: they didn't finish too bad last year, certainly a lot better than the blades.

They also have Mueller(2013 first rounder) , but they brought in a new euro in Nikolishin. I have no idea if Mueller is expected to be back or if he's turning Pro in Switzerland. I'll try to get more info on Mueller's case.

Fleury was there last year so not sure why you brought that up.
Isn't Hornqvist the same player Neal was when he came over from Dallas? Without the stupid penalties.
Erhoff was a good signing.
Letang is healthy...for now.

I doubt any coach that looks at the roster will play a different style....and I fail to see any reason why should not be at least as good as last year.

Aside from the fact that I think Neal was/is a much much better player than Hornqvist... I agree with ya, Pittsburgh will be fine....


...

Not the powerhouse the Habs will be but fine.
