No. I'm a realist, and as much as I like the future of this team, I don't see us making the playoffs even in our division. Edmonton and Los Angeles are clearly better, Calgary looks like it will survive losing both Gaudreau and Tkachuk, and San Jose and Seattle are no longer the patsies that would enable us to fatten up our W-L ratio to sneak into a wild card slot. This will be a learning year for both the kids on the ice and the front office as it evaluates our developing talent. I'll be happy if Strome and Vatrano settle in to their new surroundings, Comtois recovers his form and Zegras, Terry, Drysdale and McTavish continue their upward path.
