(Newer than the newest) 2019-2020 Time Capsule Prediction Thread

[Canorth]

Time again to dust off your crystals balls ladies and gents!

 

On the eve of free agency, I thought it would be a good time to start thinking about our predictions for the season.

 

The rules are the same:

 

1) Everyone gets one post (please be honest) in which they are allowed to post their prediction for the upcoming season.

 

2) This post can be edited as much as you like right up until the Canucks' opening night

 

3) Before the Canucks’ season opener this thread will locked, sealed and pinned by a moderate for everyone to monitor their, and others, successes and failures at reading tea leaves, palms, the stars, tarot cards to predict the upcoming season. This will hopefully fuel some interesting discussions at the end of the season.

 

4) Please, NO DISCUSSION WITHIN THIS THREAD, until it is re-opened. It will only get messy.

 

5) You can include anything you want in your post and it does not have to be restricted to the Canucks - standings, line-ups, trades, proposal predictions, champions  ect.

Bo hits 30g. He’s been improving his totals every year.

I ain't reserving no slot like a wuss. Let's do this thing.

 

- Canucks sign Myers at 6 x 6.

- Canucks sign Boeser at 7 mill x 4 years.

- Horvat named Captain before season opener.

- Canucks stay healthier than they have in several years thanks to a better schedule and a more insulated roster. Still take more injuries than most teams tho.

- Pettersson plays 75 games and records about 75 points.

- Boeser plays 70 games and records around 60 points. Hits 30 goals.

- Horvat plays 75 games and records between 60 and 65 points.

- Edler stays healthier, but his PPG average goes down. Finishes with 30 points in 65 games.

- Hughes is in the Calder race all season, but isn't  the frontrunner. Plays 75 games and records 35 points.

- JT Miller records 55 points in 75+ games.

- Pearson plays 70+ games, recording 35+ points.

- Tanev plays 60 games. 15 points.

- Myers takes a pretty significant injury. Only plays about 60 games and ends up with around 20 points.

- Juolevi is called up partway through the season and looks decent. Sticks with the team for a long period of time.

- Markstrom plays well for most of the season. Demko is on and off. 

-Canucks just squeak into the playoffs and lose in the first rd. They put up a pretty decent fight though.

I will lead my team to win the Stanley Cup in 2020.  My buddy BO will be named captain of the team.  And my countryman Gustav Nyquist will score the winning goal in the Stanley Cup final...

Bold predictions.

 

Bennings moves pay off, added depth insulates Tanev and Edler - they both play 65 plus games.  

 

LE does not play in Utica - none of the young guys bump him off the roster.   He plays the same role, gets around the same many points and helps the top two lines get favourable match ups at home.

 

Our home record is impressive.  EP, Boeser and Horvat all get over 70 points for the first time.  Miller gets over sixty as well.  

 

Hughes plays around 70 games and gets around 45 points.  Elder and Myers also get over 30.  

 

EP gets 86 points - our future superstar is arriving.   

 

JV scores 20-20 on the third line.   Still doesn’t get top six time as he’s blocked by Boeser and Miller.  

 

Our second line is arguably our best line.  Our team essentially has a 1a and 1b line, just like the best teams in the NHL.  Bear-Horvat-Miller and Pearson-Horvat-Miller are both a handful.  Bear gets injured, Pearson plays for him.

 

Our record is  102 points, good for second in our division and home ice.   We play Calgary in the first round and beat them in five.  We lose in the second round to COL in 7 - in OT LE scores an own goal and fans start hating him more then Messier.  He’s shamed into retiring.

 

Markstrom doesn’t slip back into his career norm / continues to play very well.  Demko doesn’t supplant him but has similar stats.  

 

Hughes-Makar-Hughes are the Calder candidates.  J Hughes wins it ... three finalists in a row!

 

JB is a finalist for GM of the year and TG wins the Adams....

 

2021 Final is Vancouver-NYR.   We win  our first cup.
