I do appreciate a classic Jets troll, well played

It was accidental.

If I were to guess?

Calgary
Toronto
Montreal
Edmonton
Winnipeg
Ottawa

In grinding, tough battles, I see Calgary coming in #1. The elite (I feel dirty...) goal scoring and decent goaltending will see Toronto #2. Montreal has the best goaltending duo in the division, and the new additions should see the Habs safely in third. Edmonton has the firepower in spades, but the lack of consistent D and goaltending will cost them. As it stands right now, the issues throughout the Jets' lineup will cost them games. And Ottawa plays the trailer, but will likely have the wins that will cost the top 4 teams important points overall. They won't be in the basement for long.

but still make the playoffs unlike the Leafs

Roger will tell you that, the playoff play in round was actually the playoffs.
And not a round of games to determine which team advanced to the playoffs.

Hockey’s version of the NFL Nfc east.😂😂

I have a feeling that the Canucks might set a new record for goalie changes (over 56 games). They will be bad enough to forget about Red-Light Raciicot. Demko unproven and Holtby reminds me of Joaquin Phoenix stoned on the Letterman show.

If the Jets defense doesn't play a physical game then they will be in trouble.
I also believe every team that plays the Leafs will play them physically as they know their top forwards don't like to play a physical game. Its going to be a fun season.

You may be disappointed with the results - just sayin.

I don't think it's so cut & dry. Guaranteed every team will have players who will catch the Covid, and then players will have to isolate, games will get postponed and played at later dates. I think it's going to be a wacky season and we could see Ottawa in top 3.

The fact that there is a pretty large consensus that Ottawa will finish last in the North division makes me think they won't.

I say they finish 5th. Don't make me guess who finished below them.

That was 2016, five years ago, Simmonds is no longer that player!!

Good post and there may be a few surprises as you say.

and that Trump won the election

Not sure how you can say Calgary's defence got worse. All the positives that Brodie had were wiped out by how awful Hamonic was.

Barring injuries, going from Brodie/Hamonic to Tanev/Valimaki is at worse a wash, and I'd take the latter every day of the week.

Winnipeg has a team now....just sayin

Probably not for long. Really going to disappoint all 6 of their fans

Matthews and Tavares with their 22.6 million dollar combined salaries have never won a playoff round, and I don't see that changing any time soon...just for poops & giggles

Vancouver?
- TurdFergeson

They're so far above everyone else you can't see them....I guess?

the starters aren't really that important....the taxi squads are.
Who has the best set of "seconds" because the Covid conundrum will be a factor here.

Sorry, Van sits between Winn. and Edmonton.

Where do we start: Vancouver Playoffs last five years
2015-16 DID NOT QUALIFY
2016-17 DID NOT QUALIFY
2017-18 DID NOT QUALIFY
2018-20 DID NOT QUALIFY
2019-20 Qualified with Covid extended playoff format

Who would you rather have ? Matthews and Tavares at $22.6 Million or

Luoango (can't play) $$3.035 M
Spooner (won't play) $1.033 M
Ferland (Doesn't play) $3.5 M
Eriksson (Hope he plays) $6 M
Baertschi (will play any day now) $3.336 M
Sutter (Plays like the washed up poop that he is) $4.375 M
Myers (Top pair pay for a bottom pair player) $6.0 M

That's $27 Million plus - Enjoy!
