Now that the schedule is out, let's have a little fun while we wait for the next shoe to drop. Try and guess how many we can win before new years

20/18 to New Years. Should be a decent first half of the season, the schedule certainly doesn't appear as bad to begin with as last year.

pretty much this

we are about 5 weeks away from getting a good idea of how the line up will look

 

[McDrai]

Only thing I know is that the Oilers will be bottom 5 regardless of who they acquire this offseason

 

[McDNicks17]

McDavid scores 50 in 50 after being traded to the Leafs.

As painful as it is for me to agree with this..... I agree.

I think after the huge level of hype going into last season and being disappointed yet again I simply won't believe it until I see it.

 

[McShogun99]

Schedule looks so much better now that they don't have to accommodate the CFR in the new arena.

 

[Jumptheshark]

with the roster as it is now

even with a healthy McJesus you are looking at about 30 wins for the season due to the backend still sucking

but

nothing has happened yet and I expect at least 5 new faces before Septembers camp
