And ironically I think they'll be bad but with 2 bottom 5 teams and a Nashville team that is really not good, there may be at least some reason to watch. I think CBJ would nab that 4 spot but again, their roster isn't great they just playtough and are well coached.You complained that he took the most positive view of the Panthers and the most negative view of others, and then you counter by taking the most negative view of the Panthers and (almost) the most positive view of others.
That's a relly pessimistic way to look at it.
Chicago, yikes. Nothing to look forward to, unless Lankinen goes on a Hamburglar run.
Detroit, zero chance they're better than us. Minor changes to last year, Greiss is the only clear improvement to Howard.
Nashville, they've been running still for a good 2-3 years now. Different coach, but the roster is virtually the same.
Pittsburgh, hasn't really been the same since 2017. Also Matheson takes like at least 6pts off their total.
Columbus, all I'm gonna say is that Torts has been there for 5 years now (longest tenure 6.5 years with TB) and when the players grow tired of him, it'll happen overnight and there's no return.
St. Louis, would the 2018-19 Jordan Binnington please stand up? They're vulnerable like any team without good goaltending.
TB, obviously beating the current SC champion is going to be tough.
I see two teams that we should absolutely beat every time, two teams that should give a fair fight, two teams that will be a challenge, and one team where even one win or AWGAP would be a success. No one said it was gonna be easy.
Pittsburgh is always there, also Matheson is a 3rd pairing guy there and they got rid of Johnson. They'll be fine. I agree on the rest though, Nashville has been trending down and they just don't look good. Getting major Southleast division vibes from this.
