Player thoughts:
- Pettersson has 65 points but doesn't win Calder.
- Bo and Boeser start slow in October and November. Take off from December on. Both post 60+ point totals.
- Our D, being the same 8 as last year, suck miserably. This forces some trades from JB. Hoping 2/8 get traded for decent assets.
- Virtanen starts hot but cools off scoring a still good 40ish points.
- The vet forwards, new and old, do something useful this year. Looking at you Loui.
- Goldobin sticks full time scoring 18 goals on the 2nd line.
- OJ doesn't play a single NHL game this year. Next year makes team.
- Gaudette plays last month+ after deadline. Plays in a callup role till then.
Team thoughts:
- Finish 2nd to last or dead last in league. I just don't see any improvement here. All focus from other teams will be on Boeser, Horvat and Pettersson with Sedins gone, making it tough for them.
- WIN THE F'ING LOTTERY (serious hope here). Draft Hughes. Get another 1st rounder somewhere.
- Team changes logo again next year.
League Thoughts:
- Laine wins Rocket Richard
- McJesus wins Hart and Art Ross
- McKinnon wins Lady Byng
- Hedman wins Norris
- Jones wins Vezina
- Crosby wins Ted Lindsay
- Rick Tocchet wins Jack Adams (Coyotes make the playoffs)
-Erik Karlsson wins Conn Smythe (assuming he plays how he used to)
- Predators win Presidents
- Sharks win Campbell
- Lightning win Wales
- Sharks win Stanley Cup. Jumbo Joe and Burns shave their beards on ice while celebrating with the cup then ride horses nude into an artificial sunset while ESPN photographs the event.
