There really aren’t though. Theres about 6 or 7 really good teams and a few really bad teams. Most of the league falls into the average or mediocre middle every year.

We just need to be a little better than some of those average teams to make the playoffs. But we’ve thrown so many points away already that’s unlikely to happen now.

Man. context is everything.

Looks like my guess is going to be way to my optimistic, see wrong.

I predict 42 pts.

I predict 42 pts.

Looking at point totals over the last few seasons, that would easily put as the worst team in the league. Or atleast bottom-3.

 

[The Marquis]

This season really looks like a lot of teams beating up on a few and Seattle is one. Also, as an above post points out, 3 expansion teams have done worse.

I think it's going to be around 55 - 60 points.

They'll get a couple of lucky bounces(at some point we're due), win about 25 games and still finish in the bottom five.

BTW: 42 points would've put us dead last in league during every 82 game season for at least the last 20 years or so..
I doubt it's going to be that bad.

I have my methods.

You just want Wright ..

Who doesn't, but no.. I don't think we have the luck to win the lottery, even from the bottom spot. My methods are my own and they involve the Leafs winning the cup every year.

I agree that a Seattle wintersports team winning the lottery's not really a Seattle thing(Sonics never had the #1 pick in their 41 year history and only drafted #2 twice --> Payton + Durant)

The bolded part, though....

 

[The Marquis]

The Leafs are indeed my pick for this year. It is known.
