Thread: Atlantic Division In Depth Analysis and Standings Prediction
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheFlamingC</b></div><div>Apologies for the semi mass ping but if you were pinged, I broke down your team in this post and I'd like your feedback on my breakdown. Don't expect you to read it all but at least read your teams quip. All lines are according to DailyFaceoff.

If I quote this and the comment is "^" its because I had to get around the 3 tag rule</div></div>

Really comprehensive analysis. Major props. And how could I argue with the Lightning take? :) Best team in the world. #Let'sGoLightning
I don't entirely agree with your divisional predictions, but this is a really excellent breakdown.
My personal predictions:
1) Tampa Bay Lightning
2) Boston Bruins
3) Florida Panthers
4) Toronto Maple Leafs (WC)
5) Montreal Canadiens (Just miss)
6) Detroit Red Wings (Ahead of Ottawa due to Ned in goal)
7) Ottawa Senators
8) Buffalo Sabres

I think the Rangers will make the 2nd WC ahead of Montreal, but I'll wait until you do your Metropolitan breakdown...:)
P.S. I know you get the lines from DailyFaceoff but the 2nd line last year was Killorn-CIRELLI-STAMKOS and will presumably remain that way this year. The 3rd line will probably be some mixture of Colton/Joseph/Barre-Boulet.

Thread: 2021 offseason talks thread
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheFlamingC</b></div><div>They’re probably just trying to see what Kotkaniemi is worth in a trade at 6.1, what the compensation is worth, negotiating an extension with KKs agent, etc. Just weighing their options and leaving no door open. With Aho the delay was just to be pricks because they were mad at the Canadiens and they had tendered on day 1 of UFA. If the Canes waited they could f*ck over any chance the Habs had at getting a UFA while they waited for Ahos decision to be made and then the Canes could still retain their player at the very end, ruining the Habs offseason</div></div>

I don't think they're allowed to trade him for a year if they were to match. So trade value doesn't factor in for KK. Maybe the picks though.
