Between 2-6. I don't think we can finish ahead of Boston and don't think Buffalo or New Jersey will pass us.
I agree wholeheartedly.Boston is starting the season without Marchand and Pasternak - they lost Chara and Krug. I think there is more of a chance than you are giving them.
I also would add the Rangers to that bottom list - that D is brutal- they also have no C depth as exciting as that F group looks they will be on the lower tier of the division
don’t sleep on Kruger and the Sabres
Let's not be silly here.Komarov will have a 50g season and shut the door on the naysayers.
MDC will score 1g 1a all season
I see us having a slower start to the season, going to see our division as
1. Washington
2. Pittsburgh
3. Isles
4. Buffalo
5. Boston
6. Philly
7. Rags
8. Devils
Lavvy gets to a team early, expect Pittsburgh to bounce back
I will go with Colorado to win the cup
For Isles I agree with Winter Soldier our X factors are Dobson and Sorokin for sure, not going to get much from anyone unless Aho gets a chance at some point, I see Aho being effective. MDC, Bellows and Otto will stink... Wahlstrom is hit or miss.
The President's trophy will be odd this year. Teams in a tough division like ours are not going to get many free points like the teams playing Detroit and Chicago eight times each will.The only outcome I'll be genuinely surprised with is us as bottom-dwellers. Anything else – from bubble team to Presidents' Trophy winners – won't surprise me much.

I suspect the trophy will go to a Central or West team.
Either that or none, which isn't their style.I think they should just give out 4 President's trophies this year. In some ways it would be the most fair it's ever been, as each team earning one would have had the same exact schedule as all of the teams they beat out
