I had them at 4th last on my prediction thing and I still maintain that.

 

[VanillaCoke]

24th

 

[Virtanen2Horvat]

I accidently selected 10-15. I meant 20-25, I thought we were talking next season for a minute. I think we will have the 8-10th pick I hope.

 

[banme*]

Voted top 10 thinking it meant a top 10 selection. I stand by my prediction now though.

 

[clunk]

23rd with the Canucks choosing Juolevi

 

[Wilch]

Low.

But just high enough to pick outside of a group of top tier prospects.

 

[Peen]

5th or 6th last

edit.

I need a excel proof reader.

 

[VanillaCoke]

My very optimistic prediction is them going 17-10-5 ending up with 90 points.

I don't think 90 points is gonna be good enough to make the playoffs but who knows with the very crappy Pacific division.

Feb 9th is missing yo

Fixed. Tanks.

 

[pahlsson]

wow i can't believe we almost had 50 wins last year

 

[WTG]

The canucks are 2nd last in CF% 5 on 5.................

wow we are bad.

 

[Zombotron]

with regards to this season, i'm thinking the team will crack after the trade deadline but they'll go down swinging, unlike 2014. daniel and henrik will fall off but horvat will continue to demonstrate why he's the unequivocal heir to the captaincy, night-in-night-out. ben hutton is given more responsibility. (and thrives. we salivate.) hunter shinkaruk is given a short call-up and dunks all over our expectations (we salivate some more). we end up with a pick somewhere between 8 and 12. management does the Right Thing and drafts one of sergachev, juolevi or dubois. (ideally, they leverage the assets gained from trading hammer and vrbata at the TDL to acquire a pick in the teens, using it to draft one of fabbro or bean. (or achieve the same results by trading edler)) our first pick is a goddamn slam-dunk who makes the team out of training camp. voila. we win.

something like this

We ain't finishing 17-10-5...well hopefully not

Between the rookies and sophomores starting to score, Marky Mark rounding into form, Miller getting injured again, Sutter getting into game shape and Hank coming back, I don't think 17-10-5 is outside the realms of possibility.

 

[Peen]

To reach management's expectation of being a 100 point team while being better than last year's team, we would need to go 23-4-5 to reach 102.

Primary reason.

 

[Bougieman]

We will be finishing in either 19th, 20th, or 21st place. None of which are a playoff spot.

 

[Knight53]

A spot that will disappoint both pro-tankers and anti-tankers.

 

[geebaan]

A spot that will disappoint both pro-tankers and anti-tankers.

Probably this. 14th here we come.

Haha, read the poll wrong. Thought the options referred to draft position, not standings. Assume the other two people who voted "top 10" did the same. My vote should have gone to 20-25, specifically if figure we will be somewhere between 22 (9th) and 24 (7th). With 50 games in the bag already I have no reason to believe the final 32 will be significantly different. We'll probably pick up between 30-34 points in the final 32 games finishing with 81-85 points, out of both the Pac div top 3 and the wildcard spots. Everyone is gushing about having Sutter and Hamhuis back but I think people are letting the long layoff blur their memories of these two players. Hamhuis was a train wreck before he got hurt, I can't imagine missing 2 months of hockey is going to suddenly make him play better. And Sutter is a solid player to get back but I don't recall him impacting games much in his first 16 games despite getting some high profile minutes on the Sedin line. He'll probably prevent them from being *really* bad but isn't going to propel them into a playoff spot either.

Shhhhhh, if the Canucks go on a 30 game winning streak imagine your bragging rights.
