1. Boston Bruins will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
2. Tampa will finish 4th in the Central.
3. Quinn Hughes leads all D in scoring.
4. Trevor Zegras wins Calder after leading all rookies in scoring.
5. Marc Andre Fleury finishes the season with a better Save % than Robin Lehner
6. OTT does NOT finish in last place in the North division. How's that for bold!?
7. Andrei Svechnikov scores at least 25G including 3 lacrosse goals.
8. The Stanley Cup winner comes from the Canadian division. With an Asterisk???
9. Carter Hart leads league in Wins and wins Vezina.
10. Mika Zibanejad scores 38G to win Rocket.

"Somewhat"?!?!?

I admire your courage.

1. Boston Bruins will miss the Stanley Cup Playoffs.
I’d say this is 50-50 on happening.

2. Tampa will finish 4th in the Central.
I doubt it, unless Vasy gets injured.

3. Quinn Hughes leads all D in scoring.
He’s definitely one of the D who could.

4. Trevor Zegras wins Calder after leading all rookies in scoring.
That is very bold. Not out of the question because of how bad their division is after the top 3.

5. Marc Andre Fleury finishes the season with a better Save % than Robin Lehner
That could definitely happen, but likely because Lehrer will be playing better teams.

6. OTT does NOT finish in last place in the North division. How's that for bold!?
Extremely bold. That would probably only happen if Hellebuyck gets injured.

7. Andrei Svechnikov scores at least 25G including 3 lacrosse goals.
Probably.

8. The Stanley Cup winner comes from the Canadian division. With an Asterisk???
I doubt it, but if there is, there shouldn’t be an asterisk. If you make it through the playoffs, you’re clearly the best team in the league (other than injuries to their teams, which happens every year).

9. Carter Hart leads league in Wins and wins Vezina.
Could happen, but I’d be leaning more towards Vasilevsky because of the strength of competition.

10. Mika Zibanejad scores 38G to win Rocket.
I could see that.

Why would there be an asterisk? There wasn't one in 2013 in a 48-game season.

I didn't mean b/c of the length of the season. I meant b/c of the automatic trip to the Conference Final. I was sorta being facetious though.

R u drunk? High?

There's also a guarantee that only 1 Canadian team will make the 3rd round.

Good point, but when was the last time that more than one Canadian team made the final four? Serious Question. Was it 1993?

Was In 2011 The Last Time A Canadian Team Was In The Finals The Vancouver Canucks Who Lost To The Boston Bruins 4-3
Was In 1993 The Last Time A Canadian Team Win A Cup Was The Montreal Canadians Who Beat The Los Angeles 4-1

My question was, when was the last time more than one Canadian team made the final? I thought it was 1993 with the Leafs and Habs, but I think it might've been '94 with the Canucks and the Leafs when they were in the same conference.

1989. Flames beat the habs in 6 for the '"only cup" in flames history

Some bold predictions, my hot take: Svechikov wins Rocket Richard.

I love it. I just wasn't that bold, but he's gonna have a great season.

I think it's pretty bold, a lot of other players will be going for it, I have Svech fourth or fifth, behind Ovie, Pasta, Matthews, and possibly Z-Bad, or maybe even Laine.

It was 1994.

Edit: I think @Gmonwy misunderstood because @Brian2016 accidentally said the final instead of the final four. The last time more than one Canadian team made the final 4 was in 1994.

so you guys really think that boston who still has rask... is going to be worse than two rookie goalies in a short year and neither team has a reliable backup? riiighhhhtttttt.

Pasta could miss 20 games. Krug is gone. Marchand recovering. Rask bailing during bubble may have negative implications. I see potential signs of trouble in Boston. They seem to have more adversity than many of the other top teams in the East division. Maybe they triumph over the adversity or maybe they struggle. I'm taking the latter.

Marchand isnt going to miss any games, Krug is gone but he wasnt a good defender they will be fine on defense even with 2 rookies out there. Smith is a 20 goal scorer who will fill pastas role fine until he comes back. I would rather have rask bail and come back sharp for this season vs a Rookie goaltender with no real backup for both washington and pittsburgh. When lundqvist was there you could have said bruins might be 3rd. without a real backup there is samsonov struggles theyre toast. same with jarry.

he wasnt. offense only and most of that by way of the pp.

We can agree to disagree.

Each team bold prediction:
Anaheim - Gibson finishes top 5 in Vezina votes
Arizona - another major controversy arises
Boston - Will have a top 10 draft pick in 2021
Buffalo - Eichel wins the Hart
Calgary - Markstrom struggles and Rittich takes over
Carolina - Necas performs well becoming a major asset in the top 6
Chicago - Malcom Subban solidifies himself as a starter
Colorado - Makar wins the Norris
Columbus - Dubois underperforms
Dallas - Klingberg bounces back
Detroit - Not last place... but win the lottery
Edmonton - its a pool party
Florida - make playoffs
LA - Cal Peterson transforms into the starter
Minnesota - Craprizov
Montreal - Make playoffs via Gary Rice
Nashville - Underwhelming season overall
New Jersey - perform above expectations with Subban finding form
New York Islanders - whatever they had going for them ends this season.
New York Rangers - Shesterkin is legit
Ottawa - The island of misfit toys causes some headaches in the all Canadian division (still finishing last)
Philadelphia Flyers - Provorov finishes with the most goals in the NHL amongst defence man
Pittsburgh Penguins - Rutherford trades another 1st round pick
San Jose Sharks - Karlsson bounces back finishing top 5 in defence man points
St. Louis - Robert Thomas finishes top 3 in points amongst teammates
Tampa Bay - Cirelli wins the Selke
Toronto - Robertson wins the Calder
Vancouver - Win the Canadian division but fall out in the first round
Vegas - Fleury regains starting positions with Lehner struggling
Washington - Carlson does not finish top 10 in defence man points
Winnipeg - Miss playoffs
Seattle - Will come in with a bang and send an offer sheet next summer

Being from NY I was taught from a young age to hate the Bruins (and the Red Sox). I want them to lose even when on paper they're still a really solid team. Marchand and the Bruins are just so easy to root against.

Ville Heinola is sick wit it on the PP.
