Nuxfanabroad Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 So many fresh faces brought in for the team & farm, that it might be fun to place predictions on how it comes together (or not!) 1- Who will be our BEST, most impactful, unexpected-contributor? 2- Who'll be our best AHL call-up(let's exclude Hamonic, as he wouldn't be there normally) 3- at TDL: Buyers, sellers, or stand pat? 4- Will Travesty Green last season as HC? 5- Our final 82 gp team numbers: PP% & PK% ?? Van's final position in Pac Div? 6- Man games lost: upper 3rd of league / mid-range / lower 3rd(fairly healthy) 7- Abby 'Nucks finish? a- top 6 , b..6-12 c- mid-range, d- bad, miss PO's, e-brutal 8- Team MVP down on farm?

Nuxfanabroad Posted October 13, 2021 Author Share Posted October 13, 2021 (edited) 1- Dickinson 2- Di Giuseppe 3- stand pat 4- No; canned at mid-season 5- Finish 2nd in Div. PP: 23% PK: 81% 6- Mid-range for MGL 7- Finish between #6- #12 8- Noah Juulsen edit: Strongly feel we need this type of thread to start out. Why, you might ask? Whether one drinks koolaid & waves pom poms, or is constantly trolling here, Debbie Downer at every turn, I'd argue it holds more validity if your position is consistent to the one you've started the season with. Then you've got some skin in the game. So feel free to fearlessly forecast, friends... Edited October 13, 2021 by Nuxfanabroad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish I could post in these threads, but I’m the type that overthinks each question and changes my mind on my answers by the second. Nailing down a prediction on this many variables would probably take me all day, and I’d be back editing it repeatedly over the next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil_314 Posted October 13, 2021 Share Posted October 13, 2021 1- Who will be our BEST, most impactful, unexpected-contributor? Poolman; think he'll rebound and be a solid defensive D-man (Dickinson, if he plays as an elite 3rd/ 4th shutdown C, that's expected of him) 2- Who'll be our best AHL call-up(let's exclude Hamonic, as he wouldn't be there normally) Di Giuseppe (think he'll be a top-9 fill-in in a pinch given injury) or Lockwood (if we need PKers) 3- at TDL: Buyers, sellers, or stand pat? Hope we stand pat, hopefully all moves have been done last offseason 4- Will Travesty Green last season as HC? Ask me again in 10-15 games 5- Our final 82 gp team numbers: PP% & PK% ?? Van's final position in Pac Div? ~20% PP, ~81% PK; 3rd Pacific 6- Man games lost: upper 3rd of league / mid-range / lower 3rd(fairly healthy) upper 3rd 7- Abby 'Nucks finish? a- top 6 , b..6-12 c- mid-range, d- bad, miss PO's, e-brutal 8- Team MVP down on farm? Di Giuseppe, though I want to say Klimovich surprises 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
