Your pick for worst team in the league this season?

[Three On Zero]

Ottawa / Vancouver will be battling for his hughes

 

[puckIuck]

just a terrible, old and slow team. if the oilers somehow make it in its because anaheim shat the bed

 

[Iapyi]

I've played and been around hockey enough in my life to know that situations like the one in Ottawa usually results in the players banding together and playing like a team.

Monreal is out and out horrible and their self entitled fan base will turn on them and create a exceptionally ugly environment to play in. Maybe they'll sign a bunch of guys from Quebec to appease the fan base?

Montreal could be Av's bad from 2 years ago.

Even as a Wings fan, I know they won't be very good this year - although it is encouraging that they're 5-0 in the pre-season and the young guys are playing well.

 

[cobra427]

I'm not saying it's the Hawks, but it could be the Hawks.

Hawks have a dead cat bounce this year and make the playoffs

 

[Bizz]

Sens are gonna be the worst but Vancouver is gonna win the draft lottery.

 

[tsnTpoint]

The only reason I don't think Ottawa is their coach Boucher.

On paper they are complete junk, but these lesser talented players are the ones who buy into Guy Boucher's super boring trap game.

My vote goes to Arizona.

 

[BoHorvat 53]

Vancouver, because while we have added Pettersson he'll likely only replace the scoring of one Sedin. Add to the fact that our goaltending is still terrible and the defence didn't improve, we're in for one hell of a season

Not mine. With the way they finished last season and if Raanta continues to play like a top tier goaltender, I think they could be one of the final West playoff teams.

 

[Garbage Goal]

I think Detroit is going under the radar with how much of a continuous train wreck Ottawa has been this off season. Still say Ottawa though.

Lol

 

[OVO16]

People are sleeping on the Isles imo. They have just as good a case as being the Worst.

They look like they assembled the ultimate goon squad with no talent outside of Barzal. Barzal will be heavily protected this year. If anyone even breathes on him, they gettin jumped immediately lmao

I don't really share my feelings or emotions, I stick to objective observance.

hahahahahahahahahaha

Oh you were serious?

 

[egelband]

Habs have Price. He should inflate the win total. And I really can’t see the Habs as total doormats.

 

[lawrence]

Canucks faced the Flames in a pre season game when the Flames main line up was in China, as you can imagine, the Canucks were facing a bunch AHLers and NHL tryouts with Vancouver having NHL level players in that line up in that game, Flames had 0 NHlers (again they were in China) and the Canucks got badly out played by a bunch of NON Nhlers, gg Canucks 2019 Season, hello draft lottery. can't get lower then that, I challenge any team to have a crappier result then to lose to a bunch of AHL ers.

Ottawa / Vancouver will be battling for his hughes

Ottawa can't as their pick is with Colorado. sad right?

 

[MMANumminen]

Sens
Nucks
Islanders
Habs
Rangers

 

[egelband]

The Rangers will be dog**** and Hank's sparkling career save percentage will come crumbling down.

Is there a single forward or defenseman on that roster that strikes fear into you?

The Metro is a savage division. Unrest In Distress, Rangers

No. The Rangers aren’t as good as their divisional rivals but they’ll be ok.

 

[Grub]

I'm picking Vancouver. Without the Sedins they're young blue chip forwards are going to struggle and the others are just garbage. I know a lot of their fans want to tank and get the best chance at Hughes, caution from a Sabres fan, blue chip prospects put into a cycle of losing without much GOOD veteran support get damaged, their development is stunted. All they have to guide the kids is Edler, Tanev and Sutter and both Tanev and Edler most likely don't play full seasons. Their goaltending is crap as well.

Ottawa obviously will give them a run for their money.

Lets not forget we signed Fourth line veteran plugs as well..

Vancouver, easily.
They'll essentially have 70% of their roster as either castoffs, overpaid 4th line vets and rookies.

People forget they were like a 70-74 point team with the ghosts of the Sedins in their lineup. They lost 2/3 of their top scorers from last season

More like we lost 3. Tomas Vanek was also top in our scoring..

Anders Lee is one of the best goal scorers in the NHL. Scored 40 last year and 34 the year before

Josh Bailey is an excellent 2 way forward with a lot of offensive skills and his game pretty much works with anyone. While I don’t think he’s quite the point producer we saw last year, he still puts up offense and is a legit top6 forward

Eberle is good for 20+ goals and 50+ pts.
Brock Nelson is good for 20+ goals.

Beauvillier is a legit scoring threat with tons of skill and already a really good 2way forward.

I’m not saying they won’t be a lottery/bubble team but To say they have no talent outside of Barzal is false.

 

[Disappointed EP40]

Ottawa / Vancouver will be battling for his hughes

Uhhhh. Definitely not.

The Avs have the Sens 1st.

 

[Hynh]

Habs through the first 20 games
Canucks through 40/60 games
Sens make a late surge after selling everyone/thing at the TDL and finish last after 82 games

Woe Canada

 

[Niten Ichi Ryu]

Jersey. The vast majority of people are expecting big things from them this season. I don't see it, I think they win the title of best odds to land Jack. And since they have Taylor Hall, the draft lottery leprechaun, they'll have their third 1st overall pick on the team, this time a generational one

 

[BruinsFan37]

Sens and Habs will duke it out for most of the season before the Sens pull back/fall away near the end.
