If Tampa loses Kucherov and Stamkos, plus you factor in the hangover...there might be an opportunity to jump ahead of them. Still a solid team though despite that.
Can some people here just man up and say the Panthers will be in the bottom two?

@Robbie Hawley This Thread might be worth I reread for the question you asked in the training camp thread.
Here are the teams in the division, and the order I think they finish.
1. Tampa
2. Carolina
3. Columbus
4. Dallas
5. Nashville
6. Florida
7. Chicago
8. Detroit
I predicted 7th a couple of weeks ago, but I'm feeling more optimistic and think we finish 6th.
After an early examination, the one change I think I would make (if I could only make one) would be to swap Carolina and Dallas. Dallas looks good, real good. They might even challenge Tampa for the top spot.
- TB
- CAR
- DAL
- FLA
- CLB
- NSH
- DET
- CHI
No chance they sniff the top 3 and will be competing with Nashville and CBJ for the 4th spot. At that point it's a toss up and could go to any one of those teams.
My expectations are extremely low this season.
Hey! Not too bad.1 CAR
2 TB
3 FLA
4 DAL
5 CBJ
6 CHI
7 NAS
8 DET
Why? Every year is very different from paper projections. Some teams always surprise, this year FLA and NAS will.
25 teams in the league are 1 or 2 key injuries from a disaster though. Yeah of course, this team isn't unbeatable or anything, but it looks pretty solid. Too much is being made of losing Hoff and Dads, plus I think they are being a little too generously glorified in retrospect. Hoff was a zombie for half of last season, and Dads for almost as long, and he sucked against the Isles. I think with adding Horny and Duclair, we're only losing a handful of goals, and our overall team depth is much better.
Good thing with that is we have Buffalo, Detroit, and Ottawa. Should be ahead of Montreal. Leaves Toronto, Boston, and Tampa as biggest concerns.This thread but for the 21-22 division.
