Gimme a bold prediction for 2018-19 NHL season

[BruinsFan37]

Go big or go home...

Edmonton finishes last (bonus: Lucic scores 2 or fewer goals for the entire season)

Vegas misses playoffs.

Arizona makes playoffs on last day of season.

Winnipeg wins Presidents Trophy -- and loses in first round.

Montreal trades Price.

Phily finds a decent goalie and reaches conference finals.

Iginla wins Masterton.

 

[Royal Thunder]

Pastrnak wins the Hart and the Art Ross

 

[bukwas]

A rookie gets 100 pts.

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Drouin will get 70 pts playing center

 

[BrettM]

1.Jordan Kyrou cracks the St.Louis Blues and wins the Calder
2.Max Pacioretty gets traded to the New York Islanders with Ryan Pulock the core piece being sent the other way.
3.Randy Carlyle is the first head coach fired through the 2018/2019 season.
4.Carolina Hurricanes finally end the drought and qualify for the post-season.
5.Braden Holtby isn't the Washington Capitals starting goaltender by game 50 next season. Demoted to riding the pine/traded in lieu of poor play.
6.Patrick Laine doesn't score more than fifteen goals next year.
7.The conditional Seattle franchise hires Mark Hunter to oversee it's development.
8.Ryan Getzlaf doesn't reach the 50 point plateau.
9.Shea Theodore receives a Norris nomination.
10.At some point throughout the season, Conor Sheary is demoted to Wilkes-Barre/Scranton as his performance falls off a cliff which creates a rift in the organization given Sheary's close familial ties to coach Mike Sullivan.
11.Rod Brind'amour is a finalist for the Jack Adams.

 

[sailorjerry97]

Chia wins GM of the year
Boeser wins the Rocket

 

[ES]

Brad Marchand won't fined or suspended during the entire season.

 

[Devonator]

Pens miss the playoffs
Flyers trade Roo
Avs go deep in next years playoffs
All 3 California teams miss the playoffs
Preds win the Cup

 

[sr edler]

Vegas misses the playoffs.

I don't even know if this is that bold, to be honest. It's happened before with more established teams. Devils missed the 1996 playoffs, Hurricanes in 2007 and Kings in 2015. It happens.

 

[sr edler]

Laine scores 60

Points?

 

[bobholly39]

Vegas misses playoffs (down year for Fleury)

Montreal makes the playoffs and even contends for division lead (his name is Price...)

Crosby wins the art Ross

Pittsburgh wins the cup against Nashville in the finals

 

[that is unfortunate]

Pastrnak will be a Hart candidate but won't win it, 90 points with the Bruins barely making the playoffs

Vegas will be bottom 5 in the league

Carolina comfortably makes the playoffs

 

[Healthy DiPietro]

Jason Spezza bounces back with a 50+ point season.

How exciting.

 

[Armourboy]

Winnipeg wins the President Trophy and loses in the first round.

Poile finally decides to break up the big 4 and Preds finally win the Cup with Saros in net.

Ryan Johansen finally remembers what shooting the puck is and puts in 40 goals.


Everything that went right for Vegas this year goes wrong in the following and they miss the playoffs.

Arizona ends up winning the Pacific only to have the arena collapse and the franchise finally says the heck with it and moves.

It's p bold if a reigning SC-winner (at least a finalist) misses the playoffs anyway. Doesn't matter if it happened before.

How exciting.

Yeah, but it won't happen.

 

[Whaleafs]

Vegas repeats as cup champs

 

[Kevs Security]

Vegas repeats as cup champs

You are a bold one for saying they win it in the first place...

Jason Zucker scores 40 goals

Mike Babcock gets fired

Coyotes not only make the playoffs, but they win a round

William Karlsson keeps up his 20+% shooting percentage

[Aladyyn]

1. not bold enough

Mittelstadt won't be one of them.

Better?

 

[Super Cake]

How is Vegas missing the playoffs a bold prediction. Everyone here expects the Knights to miss the playoffs. A bold prediction would be Vegas once again winning the Pacific division next season.

 

[Kevs Security]

Mittelstadt won't be one of them.

Better?

that's bolder. Who is it then? Dahlin & Nylander?

 

[Aladyyn]

that's bolder. Who is it then? Dahlin & Nylander?

hmmmm, let's go with Olofsson over Nylander
