I.Am.Ironman Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 make the playoffs: yes make it out of round one: no My thoughts exactly.. and if this is the case then there is no point in competing in the playoffs. Give them the extra time off to heal and us a draft pick. I could see benning being a trade deadline 'seller'.. hopefully at least Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nuck nit Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 "We are going to do everything we can to make this team be a successful team and win. We are going to continue to try and make moves," said Benning. "Our goal is going to be to try and make the playoffs every year." http://www.thehockeynews.com/articles/57419-CP-NewsAlertCanucks-sign-veteran-goalie-Ryan-Miller-to-threeyear-deal.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat James Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 What if Henrik and Bonino get injured at the same time? Henrik's getting old, and the players in the Pacific haven't gotten any smaller... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goat James Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 I think Edmonton will make a push for the playoffs this year. There time has come.A lot of people have thought so for like five years... I wouldn't be surprised if they got a top five pick again. However, I wouldn't be surprised if they made the playoffs either. They can place anywhere in the standings...

Uncertain If their D can step up, then and only then will they make the play-offs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zverta Posted July 6, 2014 Share Posted July 6, 2014 Can we make the playoffs with this team, YES. Will we go far? NO. This line-up ain't good enough to go all the way, and we're missing more than a few pieces to take use there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
We Are All Cynics Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Knowing our luck we'll probably make the playoffs only to match up with the Ducks which would be friggin catnip for the media. Then after Kesler likely dismantles us, CDC will explode with posts calling for JB and TL's head for engineering our own demise. Good times, lol!

R3aL Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 I am not expecting too, neither am I expecting a top 6 pick, but anything is possible, injuries and unexpected events can quickly change the face of a season, that is why they play the game.

TBHILikeTheWild Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Yeah, I'm predicting a first round loss as well. Maybe even a sweep. *shudders* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mecomaker54 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Before we start speculating, how about we wait until we've played some games with this new roster. There have been multiple signings/trades/etc to our divisional rivals as well and until we see them play and how their rosters gel along with ours. Besides its a long season and injuries along with luck can change the landscape completely both for and against us. Until this season starts we cant really truthfully say that we can make the playoffs. TBD is my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ganymede Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Before June 28, it was a definite no. Now, it's a strong possibility. West is tough though, even with a strong bounceback year from everyone. I can see COL, LA, CHI, ANA, STL as locks, with DAL, MIN, and SJ not far behind. SJ is vulnerable though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just an exercise to see who's better at predicting. Think of it as a fantasy pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RDA96 Posted July 11, 2014 Share Posted July 11, 2014 Let's say by some miracle we make the playoffs chances are we will play Chicago, LA, Anaheim or St.Louis in which case we will lose in 4-5 games. At this point I'd rather get a top 2 pick over making the playoffs and getting dominated by a team out of our league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
