I really hope some of the young guys make JB deal some vets.

Not that I expect him to get a reasonable return though
- VanHockeyGuy

It is coming . We are still 4-5 years away from making real noise. As long as we keep improving.

Admitting your non man state is the first of many steps to becoming a man. Donald will mentor you through the next phase of your transition.

Isn't he Flammin Irish now?

- VanHockeyGuy

Now that Sekera is out long-term Oil have no choice but to get better on D and soonish...they'll be there IMO if McJesus plays the full 82 he'll break 120 pts this year.
- LordHumungous

They'll be there if they make a trade for a rhd, otherwise it's Larson, AHL, AHL down the right side.

There's just no way Lucic, Nurse, Klefbom, Russell and a few other can have that bad a season again. I have them moving up...way up. we'll see
- LordHumungous

So you're saying they're gonna draft around 5 instead of around 10?

They will have Karlsson in a couple of weeks.

1st Puljujarvi and Yamamoto

Also true and I also have CGY moving up a bit too if they get the goaltending and their D doesn't sh!t the bed like last season.

don't tell red mile lol
- LordHumungous

They definitely have question marks ....but I am looking forward to the season starting

I honestly could see them win the division or be a lotto team depending on health of smith and how well the additions gel

LA
ANA
VGK
CGY
SJ
EDM
ARI
VAN

That's his order.

IMO I think SJ is the team to beat this season in the Pacific. They don't have many years left but are still a deep team.

Interesting. SJ is still a good reg.season team but not sure they have the window still open to go deep in the PO's much like ANA. Vegas' lucky little run is over and after being exposed by WAS last year in the final can't see how they can even come close to repeating that season. LA should remain fairly solid. Seeing a bit of the changing of the guard here more like:

LA
EDM
SJ
ANA
CGY
VAN
VGK
ARI

A little more realistic.
- LordHumungous

I think Anaheim is going to struggle this year. They won't be Canuck bad but they will scratching at the playoffs.

No need to name a new captain right away, why not have a season or two where it is rotated among players or just have a bunch of A's?
- hillbillydeluxe

Agreed, gudbranson, sutter and a third. Either Bo or Gaunce, it's a toss up.

They should do that. Good for both teams and they'd be cup favorites if they did.

I heard he refused to waive for them though

way to go out on a limb there with that prediction.

I think the Canucks could surprise and win the presidents trophy or they could be the worst team in the league depending on bettman and the injury bug.

- VanHockeyGuy

Canucks are the worst team in the West, which bodes well for a great draft pick and a future top six star center

Ok ....my prediction is 2nd in the pacific for the flames and second last in the league for the Canucks

How many Lotto picks have we had in the last decade?

Ummmmmm......I don't know, why? Anywhere in the top five is a great pick! 1st or 2nd is better though.

They lost alot of offence from the defense, there powerplay wont be as good missing Hamilton, im not sold that Hanifin will actually be good.

Isn't he Flammin Irish now?

No, I think he's gone forever.

It is going to be a really weak division anyone can take it.
