Speculation: Unusual predictions for the up coming season

[Rhino1985]

Kulimen scores 15 goals and 35 points (crosses fingers)

 

[YearlyLottery]

PAP has a better season points wise than Andrew Ladd.

Boychuk comes back as our #2 defensemen.

Halak does not get traded and becomes our #1 goalie again.

Shane Prince scores 17 goals.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

Someone in the top 9 not named Ladd gets into a fight, and wins.

 

[Axe Man]

Grabovski and Halak go through the entire season injury free.

 

[eoin92]

Multiple fans break their ankles on Cupholders, as they jump up and down when Tavares lifts the cup.

 

[lazycop]

Nelson has an Okposo-type revelation that it is ok to use your size and play with some intestinal fortitude...goes for 30 goals, but has a grabner type assist total. 42 points

Strome remembers how to play hockey and just misses out on 20 goals but has a healthy amount of helpers and reaches 50pts.

Nobody on the Ladd-JT-PAP line has less than 65 points.

When the hell did that ever happen besides 1 playoff series?

I thought the exact same thing lol



Nathan Horton returns to the NHL, only to reinjure his back on his 2nd shift.

Islanders make it to the SCF

Barzal wins the Calder

 

[airbus220]

Halak will put on waivers and nobody claims him.
Never question The Snow.

 

[BarBeauWahlDobLok]

Josh Ho-Sang not only puts his foot on the ice on the first day of camp, but he also is worthy of consideration for a nine games look.

 

[CREW99AW]

Isles will be a fringe playoff team. Snow expresses surprise at the high cost sellers demand at the trade deadline.

 

[A Pointed Stick]

DiPietro opens a Mr. Softy stand in the concession area.

 

[WangMustGo]

Leddy has over 50 points. Isles pp is top 5, but the pk is bottom 10. Goaltenders will regress and we will be a boarder line playoff team.

 

[Sheva7]

Halak will put on waivers and nobody claims him.
Never question The Snow.

Best one so far lol

I'll go with....

Thomas Hickey breaks out. 40 points!

 

[Isles Junkie]

Matt Martin wipes out JT and we all go ape ****

Okposo remains to be grossly overrated. Some memories revised when it comes to his play. He was at his best in Tavares' first year, and he never returned to form. I still blame him for Game 2 vs. the Lightning. He plays tough on Drouin in the finale minute, we win that game.

I would say Okposo was grossly underrated by most nyi fans and his best play came long side Bailey and Frans Nielsen.

I hated when the Habs and Subban played the isles. Subban with his chippy play against Tavares pissed me off.
And they were good buddies off the ice

 

[Jester9881]

Ho-Sang makes the team out of camp, ends the season on the top line and is a Calder Trophy finalist.

John Tavares wins Hart, Art Ross, Ted Lindsay and Messier Trophies. HF still rates Kopitar, Toews, Giroux and McDavid ahead of him.

I think one of Barzal or Ho-Sang makes the team and is the next rookie sensation. Dal Colle might see some action but I think he needs more development. I also think that Strome will bounce back and score around 60 points.

Ho sang earns a ten game look and never goes back

I think one of Nelson/Lee/Strome are gone by the start of 2017-18 season. Party due to one of those three (JHS, MDC, Barzal) breaking out.

 

[BTrotts19]

Team opens up 3-8-4, Capuano & Snow are fired, team rebounds and makes the Conference finals.

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

If any young player (rookie) gets league wide attention, I feel it will be Pulock. He has scored at every level... I know 15 Games is an extremely small sample size but even if you scale his production up to a full season of play, he's putting up 10G and 10A based on his performance last season.

Factor in the experience he will gain and increased PP time, double digit goal total is well within reach. While the masses may not agree, I wouldn't be surprised if by the end of the season he is producing at a 0.5 PPG rate.

I can the result, but I'm not sure I can take the anguish.
