McDavid with a Hatty
People forget he had that injury and didn't get a full preseason in last year. And still dominated.
A healthy McDavid will a full offseason. Guy is gonna drag the Oilers into the post season all by himself.

Game 1 vs Blackawks and season outlook
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>imawesome</b></div><div>I'd worry more about Johnson because if he doesn't play they'd have to give up a ton to get rid of him. Not to mention he's a good player. Foote probably has to high of expectations, but if he starts playing really bad you can just switch him and Schenn. I personally am not a fan of the 11-7. One other note is Cernak looked really good. And can we just take a minute to appreciate Cirelli's amazing goal (special thanks to Chicago for leaving him wide open).</div></div>
Cernak is a beast. His contract is going to be a steal these next few years. The only thing stopping him from finishing second on the team in ice time is the powerplay. Joseph ahead on Volkov on the depth chart again, solid game by him.

Game 1 vs Blackawks and season outlook
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Florida_Man_Maroon</b></div><div>About Foote, I feel I personally maybe placed too high of expectations on him prior to the season simply because he was a high draft pick. However after last nights game it is clear he is still adjusting to NHL speed and at this point may not be able to display his full skill set as he needs a few games (maybe more than a few) in order to get up to speed. I can remember a specific play where he gave up a breakaway, which doesn’t concern me, but shows me that he’s got some learning to do. I am a big fan of Schenn and his game so it’ll be interesting to see what the Bolts do once Schenn is available. To your point about running into trouble like we did two years ago because of a potential quick playoff birth, I think we’ve really learned from that and as we saw last year, we took all measures to make sure the same thing didn’t happen again. I believe we will have that same mindset coming into this season which is why I’m not too worried about that (while of course I’ll be traumatized for life over those 4 games)</div></div>
Hedman took some time to figure out the speed of the NHL. His first season he made a ton of mistakes. Foote will be fine if they develop him proberly and be patient with him. Let's hope they don't handle him like they did Koekkoek.

They looked rusty and still strolled past the Chicago (who look like they'll be in for a long year)
Foote is going to take a little time adjusting to the NHL. Johnson has to come back in but would it be better to leave Johnson down and bring up Shenn and go 11-7 and manage Foote's minutes more effectively? I know long term Johnson has to play so he can get moved but thinking Longer term is Foote's development more important? Probs not but it's a thought.
Are they going to run into trouble like they did two years ago? With an easier division Tampa and Carolina may lock up playoff births quicker than everyone else without too much adversity. Is it going to bring lead feet come playoff time?

You'd be paying him 2.5million. play him 12minutes a night and the production you'd get would be well worth 2.5. He's not a bad player.

True. But if he can mentor him like he did Cernak they'll win a lot more games than they would with just Mac Cernak.
If they're getting the run around they can always pair them back up.

Mac has been working with Foote through camp so far. I think they probably stay together for a bit. Give Foote the same treatment Cernak got early in his career.
From all accounts Joseph has been really good at camp. I wanna see Volkov get the spot opening night but wouldn't be surprised if it Jo on the 4th line.

Who is the next team to go into full rebuild
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Kotkaniemi15</b></div><div>Hmm, let’s see:
ANA - In a rebuild.
ARI - Not officially in a rebuild, but the Stepan trade makes it look like that’s the way they’re leaning.
BOS - They’re going for it this year, and I think that might be the last hurrah. They probably won’t go full rebuild mode right away, but more of a retool built around Pastrnak & McAvoy.
BUF - Who the hell knows? They may or may not get out of their perpetual state of losing.
CGY - Could be a year away from a retool. If they get results this year then they stay the course.
CAR - They’re a #1G away from being contenders. Once that happens they’ll locked in as a contender for awhile.
CHI - In a rebuild.
COL - Contenders
CBJ - They’re a playoff team, but their players keep wanting to leave. I think that unless CBJ can make a big move, they’re stuck in the middle for awhile.
DAL - They’re contenders for now, but I’m not sure if that will stay for the rest of the season. Either way they’ll probably have a few more years of trying to win.
DET - In a rebuild.
EDM - Slowly trying to build up a team around McDavid & Draisaitl.
FLA - This team is weird. They could go into a rebuild, they could just continue to be mediocre. I have no idea what to think.
LAK - In a rebuild.
MIN - On the verge of a rebuild. Their team isn’t bad, but they aren’t good either and a few players are starting to age.
MTL - On the way up.
NSH - They’re not good enough to win, but they also don’t have much talent coming up. If Poile stays, they’ll be in the middle for awhile.
NJD - They thought they were ready to be good a year ago, but that didn’t work. I’d say they’re back in a rebuild now.
NYI - Contenders
NYR - On the way up.
OTT - In a rebuild.
PHI - Contenders
PIT - Maybe contenders, but they could also fall off the map. However I don’t know if they’ll go into a rebuild as long as Jim Rutherford is there.
SJS - They’re trying to cling to being good. I guess they could become a bit better if they got a #1 goalie, but this seems like a team that wants to try to be mediocre, then rebuild a few years too late.
STL - They’re on the way down. They’ll try to keep winning for a few years, then go into a rebuild. (Like Dallas)
TBL - Contenders. At this rate of never having to make hard moves due to the cap, this team will probably win a few more cups.
TOR - In the middle. Contender status is in reach, but it’s Toronto, so you know it likely won’t happen. Not rebuilding anytime soon.
VAN - On the way up. Like Edmonton, they’ll be more free to ascend when their bad contracts end.
VGK - Contender
WSH - Maybe contenders, but they could also struggle. They’re won’t be any rebuild while Ovechkin is still in town.
WPG - They would be on the way up, but the Laine stuff complicates things. If they can get a similar player back in return, this team is looking good for the future.
So the next would be ARI if they’re not there already. Then it should be MIN or SJS, but I’m not sure if either management team will commit to that.</div></div>
CBJ and FLA are in danger of having good enough pieces with a poor build leading to a purgatory like what Buffalo has experienced these past few year. San Jose's cup run kinda felt like a last kick of the can at the time but they kept adding. They've got some worrying contracts, might be like Detroit these last few years running out some bad contracts and not really moving.

1. Hall and Eichel develop zero chemistry. But with two decent scoring lines Buffalo make the post season.
2. Boston miss the playoffs after a slew of injuries.
3. Mackinnon finishes outside the top 10 in points.
4. Crosby wins the selke.
5. The Norris finalists are all Scandanavian.
6. Carolina wins the Central
7. Edmonton wins the Canadian division.
8. Hart wins the Vezina.
9. All the regular season awards (except the Selke) are won by players 25 or younger.
10. Kucherov wins the conn smythe after missing the entire regular season.

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Propeller09</b></div><div>Palmeiri makes more
If Carlo, Ritchie and Kase get signed for that, This will be a very bad year for the Bruins because it means nobody produced.
Tuukka is not getting a raise (and I am in the camp that he is really really good).
Kase on the 4th line is incredibly odd and a waste. They would be far better off trading him for Hanafin and not taking on McDonagh's contract.
Also Krejci - I am guessing he is back at a lesser rate (2 x 5M)
Halak is not coming back.</div></div>
Vladar isn't expansion exempt. Wouldn't be surprised if Halak is back for a year just incase Boston loses a goalie.

Why is Koekkoek getting 2.5 for two years. He's done nothing to warrant that money. If you're gonna bring him back its gotta be 1.3 or less. Rutta was instantly more effective than Slats.
Also, Gourde probably least likely to waive. He has a family and a life well entrenched in Tampa.
