I think a 10-15 pt. increase over last season, so 80 to 85.

 

[Mosby]

82

 

[rt]

83

IF we can stay healthy, I agree 80 to 85. Let's say 83.
We can finally take our eyes off of Hayton and focus on Cooley and Maccelli. If Cooley can help the Coyotes close to what Bedard will be helping the Hawks we could surprise. D is my biggest fear. Since rt already picked 83 I will go 84.

That's a good question...I'll take Keller...I think he's going to be near 100pts this season.

As Edenjung does a terrible job of it let me be the resident pessimistic german. I do think that the Coyotes had quite a bit of game luck on their side in the last season and that is a frickle thing. I do think the roster is improved, but Coyote Luck dictates a regression of game luck to the mean so I anticipate only a few points more than last season but I hope for them to look better on the ice

 

[Sinurgy]

They're going to finish dead last this year now that Bedard isn't on the table but they'll still lose the lottery and will pick 3rd. Anyway I voted 70-79

Somebody mentioned it in the Roadrunners thread, but AHL TV is free this weekend. Just make an account and you can watch the game tomorrow.

Not if you're on a Roku. Keeps asking me to subscribe.

So this rebuild is going pretty well.

I think our team will be fighting for a playoff spot. It includes a young 1C and young 2C as well as a top young goalie tandem.

If injuries hit then Guenther, Jenik, Doan, Smith, Soderstom, Kesselring and Kolyachonok are all ready for an opportunity. It looks like Tuscon's top PP unit is comprised of that group.

Geekie, Lamoureux and Lutz are all popping off in juniors.

Moroz is a leader in the KHL and But is quickly approaching that status too.

Matikka, Duda and Simashev have shown a ton of promise in the past.

Bill and Bear and the scouts are doing fantastic work.

Don't count your chickens before they hatch. UNTIL they make the NHL roster and contribute they are all just prospects. You mentioned quite a few players here, and I would be willing to bet very few play for the Coyote's or the NHL as regulars. So far so good though.

You rang? The one thing i don't wanna be pessimistic about ^^ and now i get critizised for it
And i try to be more optimistic and not criticise everything....

Well i think we will improve but how much is up to the team. It might be 15 points. It might be 7.
But we will be much better to watch and very entertaining. And thats enough for me.
Not every team i cheer for can be like VfB Stuttgart. From potential relegation to being one of the top teams this season. And yes its early and yes i believe that we will fall of. But its nice to be at the top, atleast for a while

Whatever happened to that Swedish defense man that Chayka reached for? Is he going to make the NHL or is he a bust?

Soderstrom? In the A.

 

[Prarievarg]

I believe he will make it. Söderström is almost 3 years younger than Välimäki who had shown pretty much nothing in the NHL prior to last season.

 

[Kai Yo T]

Isn't this the last year of contract? I'm curious to see if BA finds a way to move on from him. Does Soda even want to stay in our organization? If Soda does take off in 3 years, it might not be woth us.

Anyways, not meant to sound like predictions, just thoughts or questions I have.

 

[YotesFan47]

I'd like to package Soderstrom with a pick for an upgrade on Dermott/Brown/Stecher. Adding an additional D with top 4 capabilities would go a long way in helping this team be competitive, especially given our lack of a #1/#2 blue liners.
