BOS: they should trade Krejci and Rask if they're not particularly good out of the gate in 2021
BUF: the team won't be that much better because they still lack consistency at D and because Hutton's garbage
PIT: in terms of mastering every aspect of play, Crosby's the best ever.
NYI: remove Trotz and they're below average/garbage
NYR: Adam Fox will be in Norris conversation by the 2024-25 season
NJD: they're as garbage as they were, no they won't be better, contrary to popular belief
PHI: AV will hold them back as long as he'll be their coach
WSH: Ovi doesn't care bout anything more than beating Gretzky at this point

Mitch korn is more valuable to the islanders than Barry Trotz, bad take.

I agree, the team on paper is kinda bleh. Especially w out Toews now. I think team chemistry is another reason for their success though too. These guys love each other

I've never heard of a team being doomed because of a backup goalie. Also, as a unit our defense was pretty good last year

PIT take is so true.
I'd agree: Sid is the greatest all around player ever.

BOS: They will be rebuilding in three-four years
BUF: They won't make the playoffs for at least the next six years
PIT: Jarry will win a Vezina at some point
NYI: remove Trotz and they're below average/garbage (basically this for me lmao)
NYR: Their rebuild hasn't really sped up as fast as a lot think
NJD: They'll be a contender in four to six years
PHI: The team as it currently stands won't win a cup for a while unless one of their prospects becomes a star
WSH: They're headed into a down fall

Hutton is so bad, but don't forget we have Jonas Johansson who could step in if his Optometrist didn't help his eye impairment.

BOS: the youth on defense pans out and they stretch their window

BUF: hall stays long term

NJD: hughes takes a huge jump and scores at a PPG pace

NYI: they become an elite offensive team

NYR: overachieve and make a long playoff run because of their offense

PHI: make a blockbuster and go all in

PIT: their defense and goaltending look rock solid all season

WSH: they look fresh and ready to compete for a cup

Beyond Pittsburgh, NYI, and NJD, pretty bad takes.

Also don’t take a million people. Then every time they get quoted they get a notification. Do it post by post if you must.

Ovi never cared about anything as much as beating Gretzky's record, before or after the Cup win in '18. And anyone who says they'd rather win the Cup than score almost 900 career goals is not being truthful. Maybe Ovi will get to do both.

BOS: Bruins are still a top team this year, krejci doesnt come back next year. Rask retires, bruins go into "rebuild" mode next year.
BUF: This is the only shot they have of making the playoffs.
PIT: Jarry was a flash in the pan and pitt traded the wrong goalie. Pitt headed to rebuilding again once crosby and malkin are done.
NYI: Islanders go as trotz goes. If trotz is gone NYI is screwed.
NYR: Give it 2 years and this team will be a top team in the NHL.
NJD: Blackwood is a top 10 goalie.
PHI: Seems nobody else believes in the flyers... outside of the rangers in a couple years, tampa, and maybe carolina whose better RIGHT NOW. Carter Hart is a stud. One of the best teams in hockey.
WSH: They are going to be rebuilding soon, old team not exactly a hot take.

NJD: they're as garbage as they were, no they won't be better, contrary to popular belief- First they cant be much worse! They have a coach who knows what to do. Crawford backing up blackwood is a good anser, his back2backs were not the strongest. The D is better, marginally but better. Gusev figured out the NHL game. I think you're wrong, at least I hope so. On the flip side, if they suck I want them to Owen Power SUCK!
Quoting: Lights

NJD: They'll be a contender in four to six years-I think half of that but for as long as that
Quoting: Ragsandbluesfan

NJD: hughes takes a huge jump and scores at a PPG pace-He needed 10-15 ibs and more in muscle, he's started it on the off -season
NYR: overachieve and make a long playoff run because of their offense- Most likely true

NJD: Blackwood is a top 10 goalie.-This is true, now put a team in front of him!

BOS: They will finish first in this division and go on a decent playoff run. This will cause them to trade futures.
BUF: Something goes right this season and they finish a wild card team. Their future ends up being a Minnesota of the east, however, never really breaking out of the middle of the pack and never really doing anything in the playoffs.
NJD: Subban will actually be good this season. He leaves New Jersey in the offseason.
NYI: Their fanbase will turn on Trotz sooner rather than later as he doesn't give the prospects time on the main roster.
NYR: Zibanejad regresses. They're centre core ends up haunting them. Fox doesn't break past top 4.
PHI: Best team in the division. They miss the playoffs.
PIT: They make the playoffs. Kapanen scores 30 but goes pointless in the playoffs.
WSH: They get swept in the playoffs with Ovechkin getting a goal per game.

You know it's a good hot take when someone gets a little upset about it.

100%. Trotz gets way too much credit when his lineup decisions hold back the team. Goaltending bails him out.

Tom kuhnhackl was a bottom 5 forward in the NHL last year and trotz talked him up all the time and even put him on barzal’s line after eberles injury. Meanwhile bellows/wahlstrom get demoted if they make one mistake

The islanders would be a better team if they fired trotz and hired gallant
