Thread: 2nd in West
That's a whole lot of irrationality, jealousy and ignorance wrapped up in one post.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>Not even a playoff team. </div></div>
This is 90% the same team that finished 2nd in the West last season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>Got no starting goalie.</div></div>
Skinner proved he was a starter last year.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>2 top 4 D, two top 6 D, one AHL D and one prospect who god knows how we will turn out.</div></div>
Nurse and Ekholm are top pairing D by any measure. Ceci and Bouchard are top-4 D. Kulak is proven, Broberg and Desharnais both posted very good xGF% shares last year, Broberg especially has room to grow.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>Got an AHL 4th line. </div></div>
Add RFA Ryan McLeod and that's one of the best 4th lines in the league.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>fangm</b></div><div>No 2 RW</div></div>
You could argue they didn't have one last year either (Yamamoto), yet they finished 2nd in the West and just 2 points back of Vegas. I wouldn't start Lavoie at 2RW and I suspect Woodcroft won't either, but he could easily perform better than Yamamoto in that role. He would certainly score more goals.

Hilariously bad take.
