Your embarrassingly early hot takes after first few games?

[Blowfish]

Sabres & Canes make playoffs - Leafs & Islanders out

Could very will be...love to see Sabres back in contention!

 

[SFKingshomer]

The Kings have played some dominant hockey in stretches and look much faster.

 

[McDrailers]

Devils and stars both are well out of the playoff picture come trade deadline. Hall is sick of no playoffs, Dallas wants to switch up core. Hall for Seguin trade happens

 

[Hatrix]

Cooper is a terrible coach and needs to be fired.

That didn't take long.

 

[Marv Merchants]

MacKinnon Art Ross

 

[TeslaCoilFan]

The Lightning will miss the playoffs or get a Wild Card spot at best.

The Sabers and the Panthers will make the playoffs.

 

[EP40 AKA Lil Wayne]

Miro will get the same amount of points this year as Dahlin got in his rookie season.

 

[The Roy Of Ottawa]

Buffalo Sabres will play the Edmonton Oilers in the 2020 Stanley Cup Final!

 

[phillydownsouth]

Vezina goes to Carter Hart

Couterier wins Selke

Flyers win the East

Flyers win the cup

 

[Shaquille Oatmeal]

Edmonton vs Calgary in the early rounds of the playoffs.

 

[canuckster19]

Pacific will take both wildcard spots

 

[J T Money]

Kucherov wins the Art Ross with 150pts

 

[LuGBuG]

Ducks will probably win the cup

 

[MtlBoxFan]

Carey Price will never let in less than 3 goals again.

 

[Mugzy97]

Ducks will probably win the cup

That is embarrassing.

If I were to be a GM for one season only, and had one shot at glory, I'd might actually chose Brad Marchand over McDavid.

*Assuming a point difference at around twenty (say 100 vs 120), I think its at least a very close call. Marchand's PK's are insane. He's gritty and have many tools to turn a game around.

Thats why your not a GM

Mike Babcock gets fired before season's end.

James Neal wins the Art Ross.

 

[Critical13]

Mike Babcock gets fired before season's end.

[leafsfan5]

Mike Babcock gets fired before season's end.

James Neal wins the Art Ross.

[Mildan]

Dissapointed, no one predicted the pandemic and season being suspended..

 

[robsenz]

Buffalo Sabres vs Anaheim Ducks Stanley Cup finals and Buffalo wins!

Buffalo was really good that year...Not that embarassing imo...Even though Anaheim was amazing that year, I feel like if circumstances were different, like Ottawa not having a frigging game for a week and a half before the finals, the series could have been longer, every game was close until the last one. The Buffalo Ottawa series was good hockey

Good hot takes from this thread: Big season for Zibanejad, Sharks miss the playoffs, Babcock is close to being fired, neither Kakko or Hughes are Calder finalists

Bad hot takes from this thread: Penguins miss the playoffs, Cody Glass will be a Calder finalist, Bob will win the Vezina, Sabres will be a playoff team

I mean if the season continued, with the way the Penguins were playing they actually might have lol

 

[tarheelhockey]

Not all of these landed perfectly, some because of the shortened schedule, but they were close enough to be good calls.

Jack Hughes is the next Yakupov..

Sharks gonna be a bottom five team somehow.

Victor Olofsson will score 30+ goals this year.

Babcock will be gone by December.

Taylor Hall will not re-up with New Jersey and traded well before the deadline

Roope Hintz is going to be the best scorer in Dallas at the end of the season

Canucks will lead the league in goals scored. JT Miller will lead the team in points.

quinn hughes wins the calder in a walk.

Also Draisaitl will have more points and goals than Mcdavid and be the Hart candidate instead of McD.

Anthony Cirelli has caught the virus that's been going around the Lightning locker room
