Description

Overall, we're still a solid team. I'll predict 4th in the East behind PHI, NYR and WSH. This could definitely be the fall back year and with that in mind, I'm glad we didn't trade the 1st. If we can get Lee going again consistently, as well as some of the young guys more acclimated to the NHL, I think this team could be back to being a real contender. But yeah, when we take a step back and really look at things, I think we lost something we had the last two years, at least on paper maybe. Maybe LL has another trick up his sleeve....

It's in the description, didn't want to confuse it with Boychuk actually being on LTIR

The only way I see them regressing as a team (which is possible) is if they bury wahlstrom and only give dobson 12-14 min a night while giving leddy/mayfield an increased role. If Leddy/mayfield are playing 20 min a night and brassard/komarov are on the 3rd line instead of younger players with upside, they might be in trouble - but more likely they'll get bailed out by sorokin/varlamov and lou/trotz will continue to think they can win with a bunch of grinders.

Basically it comes down to Lou/trotz getting out of their own way. Play the kids.

Beauvillier is due for a big breakout season. Isles fans are always signing Hoffman and putting him with barzal, but beau is a much better fit. Extremely underrated and has the the shot and high end hockey IQ to compliment barzal.

Are you assuming there won't be an AHL season with that Taxi squad?
