8 wins ? 8 wins ? I just hope we can win a game.

I'd think we'd be the higher Vegas odds on all those games, especially right now prior to the season.

New poll series coming from me on June 3
Might be hard to do. I think those first 16 games will tell the tale for this season for the team.

If Karlsson is gone, it’ll take til the Christmas break to win 8 games.

Sens were 3-0-2 last season before Karlsson came back from injury. Ryan and Stone were healthy, goalies didn’t suck and when EK came back (probably too early), things started to fall apart

Usually by the November American thanksgiving the top 5 or 6 teams are set in the playoffs from each conference.
This team from year to year, as we all know, flippin changes dramatically. So from the somewhat cycle of 1 good 1 bad year I would say maybe we come out of the gun just winning games, you know?
I can just see Stone get off to a hot start like 3 points a game in 8 of 11, If Karlsson is back and healthy then he will help out somehow I'm sure.
Plus none of that drama.
I am pretty excited to see how these young guys go into the lineup. Young talent is fun to discover from game to game because they sometimes turn out to be very good and have new unique skills that make watching each game more fun.
9-2-5, shootouts aren't easy. always lose

Yeah, we're going to basically be the #1 team in the NHL.

24 in 11 games (if he goes pointless in the other 3) would be league leading, and the best start to a Sen in franchise existence.
Setting the bar a bit to high.
I think a ~5-8-3/6-9-1 record may be attainable, but think we'll be in for some bad growing pains all year.

Not only that, but we beat Calgary and Edmonton back to back 6-0 and 6-1 in Alberta. Without Karlsson (or Duchene). I know Karlsson is good, but there are 19 other players dressed.

We can win 8 games if Karlsson is still here and carries the team on his back.
If he's gone, well, we're ****ed.

2-3 wins in the first 16
Probably would have predicted something similar for Vegas last year .. so I guess.. doing better is possible

Did you forget how we had Turris in place of Duchene? Also, how we had an actual #2 C in Brassard? Oh, and how about how we had Hoffman but now have a third line player in his spot?
As I said, if Karlsson stays and dominates like he can, we might be decent, but otherwise I don't see how you can compare this roster and say it's as good or better than last year's.

Turris had 6 points in those 2 games. Hoffman had 4. Its actually pretty crazy how good Turris was for us before he was traded. Maybe some of the best hockey he's played ever.

First 5-10 games of a new season are always a bit of a tossup. Rosters aren't 100% set, some vets take a bit longer to warm up, you have guys who had injury issues over the summer still finding their game, and some not-quite-ready-for-primetime rookies end up going above and beyond their normal play for a few games before crashing back down to earth. Strong teams look weak, and weak teams can look like world-beaters.
