So now that the free agency has almost come to a close and most teams are set. Which teams do you guys see as being equally bad or worse than the Wings this coming season?
Ottawa is a given to finish below atleast.
I'd say we're lined up to be the second worst team team in the league. Ottawa is just straight up terrible with no hope. They're the worst.
Then there's Anaheim, but Gibson is such a good goalie, and Lindholm is great so I see them as better.
Buffalo is also bad, but with Dahlin getting a year older, Eichel and the rest of their young core I see them as better with the potential to climb out of the basement entirely.
LA has Kopitar and Doughty but they're awful besides them. I give them the slight edge on us but it's slight.
Minnesota seems like they should have been at the bottom for a minute here but they always overperform.
Vancouver is trying to improve, but I don't love their moves so I could see them at the bottom again.
I thought Arizona would be better this year but they always find a way to disppoint so I don't know what to think.
My guess
31 Ottawa, 30 Detroit, 29 LA, 28 Anaheim, 27 Vancouver, 26 Buffalo, 25 Minnesota, 24 Arizona
