Thread: 23 24 Sens
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>d4rk1ll4</b></div><div>Interesting. Some questions:

1. Where will Ottawa 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?</div></div>

Ottawa being in the Atlantic Division will probably get 5th or 6th seed, 9th or 10th seed in the Conference narrowly missing the playoffs.

The options for powerplay lines are high, there might not even be two specific pp units they'll have all year, especially if Pinto pulls a McLeod and signs cheap for one year.

Breakout year in terms of point production goes to Brannstrom I'd say, also a good trade chip during TDL.

Goalies will probably split the load 50/50 as much as possible but my guess will be that Korpisalo plays more games

Thread: Gallagher
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>d4rk1ll4</b></div><div>Well, maybe you don't understand what represents Gallagher. The impact he would have on the Oilers roster would be enormous. With McDavid, he could score 40+ goals, and he is the type of player that you want on the ice to motivate his teammates to put efforts, what I think Edmonton lacks. Gallagher is a BOMB, and MTL won't trade him for anything. I know Klefbom is good, but Gallagher is something special. If Bergevin trades him, he's fired...</div></div>

Sure Gallagher would score a lot with McDavid- everyone does. But the question is: will he provide more positive impact on the team than losing Klefbom does negative impact? The Oilers were 20th is scoring last year but 26th in goals against, just 2 out of 28th place. I'd love to add Gallagher, but he'd be the 4th best forward, it doesn't make sense to give up our #1 defenseman on a team that already has a poor defense - and then adding a likely top-10 pick on top of that is incredibly stupid. Your proposal is very, very far from fair.
