Well its really exciting to have hockey again and have some normalcy back into our lives.
I really think McDavid going to come out flying in this game. Hes had a full offseason to heal/train. Assuming hes healthy I think hes going to easily win the art ross this year.
Interested to see if Kahun-Draisaitl have chemistry. I hope with Yamamoto it can be somewhat close to the Dynamite line.
Interested to see if our third line can have a positive impact. If Turris bounces back and JP is an NHL player (an improvement on the player we saw in his second year), we have a dangerous line up compared to previous years.
This is going to be the most puck moving our defense has had in a long time (but I think they will struggle to defend). Obviously interested to see Barrie and the offense he brings from the back end how he integrates into our powerplay. Interested to see how Jones/Bear look this year.
Canadian division should be fun. Get to see other teams in Canada in more detail.
I personally think Vancouver has been underrated a bit by the media, although I think their year is largely dependent on how well Demko/Holtby perform. Petterson and Hughes are special players. JT miller being out is a pretty big loss for them, guy was a beast last year. Their bottom 6 looks bad to me though. I was reading their GDT and they said the same thing about our bottom 6 so who knows lol.
