I think it would take really good goal tending. Forward depth looks very questionable. Defense is highly risky.

Outside looking in. And Macklin is your 2nd line Centre. But it's still too early. They are a few years away from competing.

No. Not close to a wild card contender.

I don't think so. It would take a lot of big steps and consistency from CHI's entire roster. Those additions aren't really going to improve the team either. Also, I would re-sign Anderson LONG before Raddysh.

They'd be better than this season (not a high bar to clear) but that team isn't making the playoffs. Maybe they hang around in the conversation for awhile but they fall out by the end of the season.

Unfortunately, this team wouldn't score enough to be in contention. This team might break 70 points, if healthy most of the year....but being mediocre is not a great place to be in the NHL. If they make a splash with trades and Free agency I hope it's more than this.
