2012-2013 Canucks Predictions


Unpredictables

Recommended Posts

Not sold on Minny, they have the weekest top 6 defense in the division.

Suter & Parise, are not franchise caliber.

I will be shocked if 2 NW teams make the playoffs with Dallas improving as much as they did.

WAY OVERHYPED

If the season started today I think we would be in trouble. We would be relying on our stellar goaltending tandem and improving defense to keep us above water. I'm not sure where our goals would come from. As a matter of fact, even with the season a few months away I still can't see where our scoring will come from.

Canucks: First in Division with 100-102 points; third in conference.

Regular season conference movements:

UP

Kings - playoffs

Wild - playoffs

Stars - playoffs

Oilers (but still out of playoffs...15th to 9th/10th)

DOWN

Canucks (111 points to 100-102 points) - playoffs

Red Wings - playoffs

Predators

Coyotes

SAME

Blues - playoffs

Sharks - playoffs

Hawks - playoffs

Avalanche

Flames

Ducks

Blue Jackets

Notwithstanding injuries and further FA signings/trades, unless Rinne and Smith can carry their teams like they did in 2011-2012, and system approach to their game is played to precision, I see Preds and 'Yotes being displaced by Wild and Stars for two playoff spots.
