What surprises do you expect this year? Make your unpopular predictions

Wouldn't be surprised to see both Eller and Chuky get 60+ points season if Therrien is actually serious about giving them a fair shot in their new roles.

Lol Eller 60+. I think he gets 45 points at most, and that's if Therrien gives him a fair shot.

For fun sake. That contradict some predictions i did in another thread but hey, who care.

Kassian will finish first in goals for habs.

Condon to jump in at some point.

Hudon in all non-McDavid calders talks.

I thought it could be fun to see what people expect from this year that might be an unpopular/surprising opinion. Here are a few I have:


1. Desharnais 60+ points (maybe close to 65-70) - redeems himself in front of many fans, and is seen as a viable offensive centerman

2. Subban trumps all. He will leave defensemen like Karlsson in the dust this year, and establish himself as the absolute best defenseman in the league, by a bit. Offensively speaking - he will dominate

3. Pacioretty will disappoint. He will barely hit 30 goals, nowhere close to 40.


Anyone else?

Price will be traded

Presidents trophy - Finish 1st overall in the standings.

Subban will lead all NHL d-man in pts by at least 5. (I expect 70 from him with Karlsson at 65 or less depending on where the Sens are in the standings)
