Personal goals for your team next year

[Allan92]

So naturally it's every team's desire to win the cup at the beginning of the season. Of course, some teams know it's very unlikely that they'll be in contention.

What would you personally like to see your team achieve next season? (aside from winning the cup)

For the rangers I'd like to see Buchnevich get top line minutes consistently. As the playoffs seem out of reach unless alot of things click and go right for us, I'd also like to see some personal success for some of our players. Maybe a Vezina nomination or even a win for hank or a Calder run for Chytil, although that will be a hard one to win for the next few years with the ridiculous talent coming into the league

[Three On Zero]

Canucks - first overall pick
EP - somehow win the Calder

 

[kingsholygrail]

Win the division.

 

[ManofSteel55]

Aside from team goals, I'd like to see McDavid reach 50 goals.

 

[LordNeverLose]

End up with a better record than last year (or win the lottery, I'd be happy with either)

Barzal goes for 80+ again to shut-up the haters

 

[Kudo Shinichi]

Win Jack Hughes

 

[Viqsi]

Win a playoff round, for once.

Make the playoffs and win a round at least.

Conference final. Anything less would be unsatisfactory.

 

[The Podium]

Likely goal: Win at least 1 playoff round
Realistic goal: win division
Unrealistic goal: make finals/win cup

 

[FlyTimmo]

Win a round

 

[rent free]

Win a playoff round

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

Finish 8th place and get swept in the first round... not fire RC, and keep the team together because were good enough to make playoffs but not good enough to do anything there, which means well continue to bank later draft picks, repeat this until our defense and goalie cant carry us to 8th place any longer and our prospect pool lacks elite talent because were not bad enough to get higher picks.

 

[A1LeafNation]

1. Be in the division race until the end of the season with Tampa.

2. Win a playoff round or two.

3. Develop our RD: Carrick Liljegren Ozhiganov and Holl

 

[Surrounded By Ahos]

Make the playoffs.

 

[SabreOil]

Buffalo - Finish higher than Mtl and Ott

 

[JuJu Mobb]

HABS - High Draft Picks, hopefully Hughes.

 

[jetsforever]

Jets:
-have good goaltending again
-make the playoffs

Aside from trying to repeat and win another Cup, I'd like to see some things from these individual players:

• Tom Wilson flirt with 20 goals while playing on the top line with Ovie and Kuzy.
• Andre Burakovsky stay healthy and show some consistency. He has the talent to score 30 but he's oft injured and always inconsistent.
• Jakob Vrana 20+25 playing full-time top 6 minutes.
• Evgeni Kuznetsov challenge for the Art Ross.

I want to see what the next generation of young talent can do with more ice time and better linemates.

Just out of curiosity which do you think is most likely to happen?

I'd probably bet on Wilson but you'd know better than I would

Play the youth and let the chips fall where they do.

Wilson and Vrana are neck and neck in terms of likelihood, in my opinion. There's no way to tell yet with Rierden as the new coach if he'll keep the same lineups or if he views players differently than Trotz did. I think Wilson and Vrana both are the most likely to achieve those goals but Vrana is less likely to receive consistent top 6 minutes seeing as he really only started playing in the top 6 in the final rounds of the playoffs. It wouldn't surprise me to see him and Burakovsky flip flop between the 2nd and 3rd lines this upcoming season but if he's given consistent top 6 minutes I think he could be a breakout candidate.

Habs - have carey price win the conn smythe trophy

I was going to put see if Vrana could get 30+ on the top 6 so I’m bullish on that

Also see getting Holtby back on track is a priority, he puts up another 909 regular season the succession plan may be moved up.
