Your 5 BOLD Predictions

[LaGu]

Damn, I don't know whether this is bold or if you've lost your mind.

... probably the latter

 

[Raab]

1) Edmonton wins the Stanley Cup
2) Nurse + is traded for a legitimate top pairing defender. Think Ekblad
3) Draisaitl hits 50 again
4) Koskinen wins the Vezina
5) We do all this with Mcdavid missing half the season

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

1. Oilers win division
2. Draisaitl beats McDavid in Art Ross race (but Kucherov wins again)
3. Nuge breaks 80 pts for career high / his winger Neal scores 35+ goals
4. Persson transforms into Oiler's best offensive d-man and PP quarterback
5. Koskinen has break-out year and solidifies #1 spot throughout the season

 

[frag2]

1. McDavid 150 pts
2. Larsson scores a hattrick in the BoA
3. Hall to the Oilers at TDL.
4. EDM reaches SC finals, but lose vs NJD.
5. Haas, Nygard back in Europe by Christmas, while Persson plays 20 min/night on the 2nd pair and 1st PP.

Well, if it's any consolation, we'll somehow miraculously come up with the 1st overall the coming draft

 

[Aerchon]

1. Condors win the Calder Cup.
2. RNH scores at a ppg pace.
3. Bear has a breakout year in our top four in the nhl.
4. Bouchard leads the Condors in points.
5. The Oilers win the nhl draft lottery.

 

[LaGu]

Well, if it's any consolation, we'll somehow miraculously come up with the 1st overall the coming draft

That's right! I forgot about that.
Easily worth paying $10M for a guy that'll bring you so many 1st OAs.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

1 Oil wins the Cup
2 Archibald scores 20
3 Neal scores 35
4 Puljujarvi traded for Galchenyuk
5 Kostco wins the Vezina

 

[SwedishFire]

1 All the new europeans stick, Nygård, Haas, Persson is playing opening night.
Nygård is the most succesful of those.

2 Benning is redeeming himself a bit

3 Neal bounces back, to 26 goals. You can´t ask for more for this sort of player, and where in his career he is.

4 Archibald looks really good as a energyful PK and bottom 6 player.

5 Persson is getting much PP time, leading defence in PP points. (Nurse is leading in total points)

Aaand

6 Haas haas a good fighting spirit that is good, and been missed for the oilers

 

[Soundwave]

1 Oil wins the Cup
2 Archibald scores 20
3 Neal scores 35
4 Puljujarvi traded for Galchenyuk
5 Kostco wins the Vezina

How were the playoffs Todd? Did you enjoy Colorado? That was an amazing playoff run no? Best season since 04, no doubt!!!!

 

[BudBundy]

Came for the “bold”, stayed for the “delusional.”

 

[McSuper]

Here go . Me T is the other teams

 

[KahunWOW]

1) Oilers have a 5-0 wins start to the season and still miss the playoffs.
2) Draisaitl wins top goalscorer race with at least 3+ goals difference.
3) RNH will not be the 2nd line center in the last game of the season.
4) Drai will fight in the Battle of Alberta.
5) Lucic is off to a hot start and we trade Neal for him and retain money on Neal.

 

[Tobias Kahun]

Which flames fan do you think is running that parody account?

 

[5 Mins 4 Ftg]

1) Bear and Manning make the team ahead of Perrson and Jones. Bear as the right side partner with Klefbom and Manning as the press box popcorn guy as Holland would rather his young guys playing big minutes and big roles in the minors as opposed to Chiarelli who had no problem with 19 year olds watching dozens of games from the rafters.

2) Smith and Koskinen form an unexpected but very respectable 1-1A tandem much like Lehner and Greiss did for the NYI last year.

3) Benson is a late cut but is called up when injuries hit and sticks playing the left side with RNH and Neal.

4) Tippetts coaching along with an improved bottom 6 and healthier defence combined with not allowing the first goal on the first shot of the game 17 times reduces goals against by 40 and goals for increase by 40.

5) Oilers take a wild card spot in the playoffs as the “surprise” team in the NHL.

6) Bonus prediction! Calgary falters when Tkachuk holds out till Dec 1 and returns to hatred in the dressing room from his team mates, First Shot Talbot continues to let in the first shot of the game and Rittich does his annual late season bed shit, Giordanos contract with the Devil expired over the summer and he looks like every other 36 year old defenceman in the NHL, all the Flames players who had career bests last year fall back to their average, Johnny Hobbit gets crushed by (insert LA King name here) and misses 40 games - Lucic does nothing, the idea of Lucic on the 3rd line doesn’t pan out quite the way the Flames thought it would and he’s a pressbox regular by Game 60 and voices his dissatisfaction daily in the dressing room as Zac Rinaldo takes his place on the 4th line, Peters is fired as the Flames hit a 15 game winless streak mid season, Flames miss the playoffs in a tiebreaker - with Edmonton.

 

[thadd]

1 - Edmonton's starting line-up is different from every single combination that's been suggested by people on HF and other media sites.
2 - McDavid doesn't miss opening night.
3 - Klefbom misses 22 games but scores pro rated 20 goals.
4 - Nurse doesn't put up as many points as last season.
5 - Bouchard, Jones and Benning each play at least 20 games in the NHL this season.

 

[McJesusSaves97]

1. Persson leads the D in scoring
2. Bottom 5 finish
3. RNH traded at the deadline
4. Nygard scores more goals than Neal & Nuge
5. Kassian gets beat by Lucic [at a friendly game of chess after the 2nd game against each other this year ]

 

[BlackDogg]

1. McD feigns slight injury from last year in order to surprisingly blow wheels off defense.
2. Kosko puts a full page ad in the paper thanking Chiarelli
3. Neal gets voted to the All-star game
4. The arena decides to change to a "beyond-Bob" burger
5. Puju ends up the second case of Nostrils from sticking that tongue up there.

The West must be really weak if we make the playoffs with the last wildcard spot AND it was via a tiebreaker with the Flames after they've suffered a 15 game winless streak lol

 

[Up the Irons]

1. Neal scores 20-25 goals.
2. Draisaitl scores 40-45 goals
3. our goaltending is OK or adequate, but not great.
4. Holland trades Bear or Jones or Legasson and pick for a middle 6 winger
5. at the 1 or 2 games that I attend this year, I miss an early period goal while waiting in line for the entire intermission and first 3 minutes of the period.

That Flames 15 game winless streak is part of a .500 season btw.

BOLDly hating the Flames.

1. Oilers offer Hall a big contract Next off season.

2. Tippett wins Jack Adams

3. Oilers squeak in the playoffs, upset a team.

How is Draisaitl getting 90 points bold? I guess it is when he is going to get 100 and you are bold enough to predict only 90.
