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.

I think they're going to be a hard team to play against who also has nothing to prove.

[quote=Pacificgem]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

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!

Lol, well played. VAN took a major step back this offseason. Holtby was a big misstep

Leafs seem to have addressed their weaknesses effectively

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.
