Gimme a bold prediction for 2018-19 NHL season

[JAS 39 Gripen]

- Vegas miss the playoffs
- Tavares leaves NYI for the Blues. Islanders makes the playoffs, Blues don't.
- Laine wins the Rocket (not that bold)
- Ducks miss the playoffs
- Dallas lands Kovalchuk, fails to make the playoffs

- Vegas miss the playoffs
- Tavares leaves NYI for the Blues. Islanders makes the playoffs, Blues don't.
- Laine wins the Rocket (not that bold)
- Ducks miss the playoffs
- Dallas lands Kovalchuk, fails to make the playoffs

Where's the bold part?
1. seems like this is a regular take these days
2. is it bold to say he chooses Blues? And it's not bold to say that JT team doesn't make playoffs since he never does.
3. he almost won it this year and he's progressing so 0% bold
4. with that aging core it's only natural they will miss the playoffs sometime in the near future + they were bad as hell in the playoff this year
5. Not very bold since Radulov is already there. And it's not very bold take to say Dallas misses the playoffs since they missed it this year and Kovalchuk won't make a difference

 

[King Weber]

Puljujarvi scores 30 goals
Larsson becomes a solid #1D
Columbus makes it out of the 1st round
Ross Johnston scores 15 goals

 

[Romkey]

Marner scores 30 goals
3 players hit 50 goals
Hischier scores at a PPG pace
Kovy comes back and only puts up 30 points
Kuch regresses to 65 points
Raanta wins the Vezina

 

[blundluntman]

Points?

goals.

Are you the "bold prediction"-police or something? I've seen that you reply to lots of posters saying they're not bold enough in your opinion. Could you please lay out some ground rules for us posters in this forum to follow so that we all can function in a way that satisfies you're needs?

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

Preds go back to SCF with Saros playing in goal after Rinne wins 35 games.

 

[tony d]

- Quenneville's fired when Chicago gets off to a slow start
- 4 players hit 100 (Crosby, Mcdavid, Kucherov and Tavares)
- A re-signed Karlsson leads Ottawa back to the playoffs
- Pittsburgh takes a step back
- Kessel is traded to Calgary and leads them back to the playoffs

The Wild moves or folds?

 

[trick9]

Puljujarvi scores 30 goals
Larsson becomes a solid #1D
Columbus makes it out of the 1st round
Ross Johnston scores 15 goals

In where? ECHL? Even that's bold.

Jets predictions: Of course I'm going to predict that they win the Stanley Cup, and Schiefele will get the Conn Smythe he was going to get this year. Other predictions:

Eastern conference winner: Bruins
Surprise of the year: Defending Stanley Cup champ Vegas loses in the first round of the playoffs
Oilers and Flames make the playoffs.
Habs finish dead last in the NHL.
Flyers make it to the semi-finals.
Both Crosby and Malkin get hurt, Pens miss the playoffs.

 

[Mortivore]

-NYR makes the playoffs
-W.Karsson scores 45 goals
-Edmonton wins the lottery (i know, not very bold)
-E.Karlsson stays in Ottawa
-Dahlin playes 7 NHL games, before being sent down to the AHL
-Raanta wins the Vezina
-Jagr signs with a team and breaks most games played record.

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

1. Kessel gets traded, Pens miss the playoffs
2. Capitals repeat as Stanley Cup Champs

 

[Metroid]

Leafs win the cup and TWS claims to have been the biggest leaf fan ever all this time.

 

[rubikscube]

The Wild moves or folds?

Yeah to saskatoon

 

[cowboy82nd]

Jets Predictions:

Laine will have more points than any other Winger in the league

Scheifele scores 90 Points

Both Morrissey and Trouba score more points than Byfuglien

Connor scores more points than Wheeler and Ehlers

Little only scores 25pts

Jets struggle to get 100pts


NHL Predictions:

Buffalo makes it into the playoffs quite easily

Mackinnon doesn’t score at PPG pace

Both Stanley Cup finalists miss the playoffs and Vegas is in the running for the “Fall back for Jack(Hughes)”

Malkin doesn’t score at PPG pace for the first time in years while Crosby leads the league in points.

Boston misses the playoffs and Toronto and Tampa dog fight all season for 1st in their division

All Canadian teams make the playoffs

Vancouver fans will be happy to hear this, but I don't think this one comes true.

 

[Dr Quincy]

In where? ECHL? Even that's bold.

That's the one that stood out to me too. He did have 3 in 24, so I guess that's a pace of 10, but I don't think he's an 82 game player.

- Vegas Golden Knights Once Again Win Their Division

- Stamkos suffers another injury, and Tampa Bay misses the playoffs

- John Tavares wins the Art Ross Trophy, while his new wingers, Vladimir Tarasenko, wins the Maurice Richard Trophy

- Auston Matthews and Mitch Marner, finally playing full-time together, lead the Leafs to a division title

- The Senators enter the season with Erik Karlsson still on the roster. At the deadline, they sit 3rd in the division, so decide to keep him. The Sens get swept in 4 games by the Sabres, Karlsson walks for nothing, and the team is up for sale come August.

- Edmonton once again misses the playoffs.

Tarasenko being traded to the Islanders is quite the bold take!

 

[Kcb12345]

How exciting.

Trust me, for Stars fans that would be amazing. Any depth scoring would be amazing

 

[LamorielloAndSon]

Vegas gets to the Stanley cup final again next season

Tavares resigns for less than 11 per

Eichel struggles to live up to the allstar hype that surronds him

Barzal puts up 35 goals but not a ppg

chara becomes a 3rd pair dman as he gets slower and the league gets faster

Nolan Patrick puts up 60 points

 

[Dr Pepper]

Alright, I hope these are bold enough:

-John Tavares signs with Montreal, spurning both the Isles and the hard-pressing Leafs to end up in la belle province. The Habs squeaks back into the playoffs.
-Joe Thornton signs with the Leafs, joining his buddy Marleau and replacing the departed Tyler Bozak at #3C. Still doesn't get any closer to winning that elusive Cup, though.
-Dallas makes a huge splash on draft day, in their own backyard, acquiring Drew Doughty from the LA Kings in a blockbuster deal. They overpay, but fans are still ecstatic.
-Taylor Hall wins the Art Ross Trophy.....but the Devils miss the playoffs.
-Aaron Ekblad wins his first Norris Trophy.
-Arizona makes the playoffs as a top-3 seed in the Pacific, but lose in the first round.
-Columbus fires John Tortorella after a rough start to the season, and he winds up replacing the senile Don Cherry on Coach's Corner.
-Buffalo just barely misses out on the playoffs, losing on the last game of the season. But they end up winning the next draft lottery anyway.
-Seattle is awarded an NHL team, and chooses to be called the Seattle Thunder. Tampa isn't happy about this, but nobody cares.

What is it with you being the bold police? This is the second time I've seen you criticizing people for not being bold enough.

I can imagine Seattle wouldn't be very happy about calling their team the Thunder either
