Interesting. Some questions:

1. Where will Vancouver finish in the ranking?

2. What will most likely be the PP?

3. Who is likely to have a breakout year or who will surprise in terms of point production? Who is advantaged by the line combinations?

4. Who is likely to have a bad year in point production?

5. How many games each goalie is likely to play?

Tough to say. Great questions.

1. I think they fight to the final games for a wild card spot. I think if they can put things together as a team they have a chance to make the playoffs. Probably battling with LA, Calgary, Winnipeg and others. I think Coyotes are the Dark Horse this year.

2. PP is changing the style. I read/heard PP1 is Kuzmenko, Petey, Boeser, Hughes, Miller and the 2 unit is Hronek, Garland, Beauviller, and ??? Likely Mikheyev and Hoggy and Sutter get chances.

3. I think PDG will continue to surprise. Garland will be a force. Hronek has a good year. I think this is hopeful wishing but also seeing difference in fitness but Boeser meets his potential this year.

4. Miller is always a question mark even though he produces... he is a hot head and emotional player which if uncheck can backfire. I think Beauviller doesn't shine and struggles to keep consistent.

5. I have been thinking about this a bunch. Demko 49, DeSmith 28, Silovs 5. But depends on injuries.
