OR - he is injured for most of the season

This! Gaborik got his ring, he'll be coasting for the rest of his career, on and off the injured list (as he has for the better part of his career) and most likely the Kings will opt to trade him after this season.

I wouldn't go that far. Every player wants to succeed and play their best. I'm sure an injury will pop up here and there but I find it hard to believe that he's going to play subpar

Avs are gonna tank. St. Louis had a less dramatic 2011 Canucks style end, their soul has been eaten. Pit. will miss the playoffs.
- WJDiedrich


i don't think the Avs will tank but they won't put up another 110+ point season

somewhere around 95 points.

except Montreal because Gerard Gallant is gone and PK Subban hates Michel Therrien so much he only signed for 8 years.

I was confused because you first said Seguin Crosby play 50 games and then go on to say Seguin and Benn leaders in points.

My 20 predictions...

1. Oilers are a top 16 team, but 9th in the west.
2. A defenseman will win the Norris for his defensive play (not by points)
3. Expansion will not be announced until after the Cup finals
4. Drouin dominates calder voting
5. Tampa wins Presidents trophy
6. Buffalo selects Jack Eichel first overall
7. Jagr doesnt retire after the season ends
8. Nail Yakupov signs extension mid way through season
9. Randy Carlyle is fired and replaced by Steve Spott
10. A player not named Stamkos or Ovechkin will score 50 goals
11. Trouba will emerge as a star defenseman
12. Clarkson will rebound but fans will still complain
13. A goalie will win his first vezina this season
14. Stasny will fail to live up to his new contract
15. Gibson will be Anaheims starter by the trade deadline
16. Morgan Reilly takes over as Torontos top Defenseman
17. AM radio will see a huge increase in listeners in Canada due to Rogers hockey night lineup
18. Canada will finally win another world junior title
19. The NHL will look into Adding a 19th skater to each roster
20. The Stanley Cup will not be won by Chicago, LA or Boston

Wait, the 2nd year player is going to explode but the guy entering his 5th year is going to suffer from the 2nd year jinx? Did I read this wrong or is this what you said?

The Wild will continue to be the most boring team in the league, BUT they will also be a real contender.
