Uh-uh-uh... there is a thread that still hasn't concluded whether Marc Bergevin made this team better or not... so I wouldn't be so categoricalHonestly, I have no clue. The safe bet is barely missing the playoffs, since as of today the team didn't get any better.
Without doubt the Habs will emerge #1 and with the president's trophy they will steamroll into the playoffs and win the Stanley Cup for the 25th time. It is with mathematic certainty
Carey Price did fine. We had him behind a crap D. His numbers immediately improved when Weber returned. We continue to do things the hard way. Great goalie? Let's go get a crappy D... it's just dumb.We finished with 96pts last year despite CP not doing well before december and Weber out in the first 2 months
I say we go over 100pts, should make the playoffs with that
no changes from last year, to fix pp

What's shocking is that we did nothing to improve the D over the offseason. Once again, if Weber or Petry go down we are toast. We have no depth back there and AHL level D on the left side.
My best guess is Weber misses 20 games and we just miss out on the postseason.
Barely qualifies for playoffs - but once there does well
The only thing wrong with Carey Price was the AHL D in front of him. Weber came back and like magic his numbers took a huge bounce.CP was not good in oct-nov no matter how bad the D was, he would probably be the first to agree on that ....and i'm a big fan of him, jeez he even had to take 2 weeks off to settle down, his play from december to the end of the season was very good, just hope he can carry on with that
I expect the opposite.By january 1st, we'll be bottom-10, by the TDL nearly bottom-5, some veterans will be traded, prospects will get playing time, and we'll get a needed superstar prospect in 2020.
