I can see those teams not being all that competitive playoffs wise but I don't see any of the first bunch tanking ...Detroit is due to miss the playoffs but they aren't tankers , Rangers are too good to tank, Kings as well , Bruins are an interesting thought but I still think they have enough to be fighting for playoffs all year

The Devils could go either way ...if Schnieder misses any length of time then your right, leafs should be down there with all the youth they will have, and the jackets are a bit of an enigma to me ...everyone thought they would be a potential new playoff team last year and they seemed to take a step back no forward

I think this year you will see a couple of tbe young core teams like Arizona, cgy, edm, buff, Colorado , Carolina, etc get in to the playoffs

My bottom 10 teams next year

TOR
Columbus
NJ
Ott
Fla
Arizona
Det
Carolina
Bos
NYR

In no particular order.

Florida ? Their goaltending tendem is strong ...their forwards are crazy good ...the changeover in D could take a bit but their still a good D core ...I see zero change the panthers don't finish ahead of both the flames and Canucks

The sens I buy ...I see them as a potential playoff team if everything goes right ...but if not a lotto team

Love what the yotes are doing ...taking advantage of every teams cap mismanagement to get better

Since you picked all east teams except one ...and this would mean a team in the bottom ten in the league will make the playoffs ....I'm going to say this will never happen ...ill give you a redo

Fla send Bolland and Crouse to Arizona for second and third.

Arizona sent draft picks for older players??? Dont they know they are rebuilding? You need to draft and develop!!! They are doomed to remain bottom feeders

On a serious note, I cant see Florida being a bottom 10 next year. Luongo/Reimer is solid tandem, Ekblad, Yandle, Demers is a solid (not great, but solid) top 3 especially in the east. Barkov is a impact forward, Huberdeau I think is still on the upswing, if Jagr/Reilly/Trocheck can come close to replicating their totals from last year, they will easily be playoff bound. Not to mention that have that McCann kid

Luongo just had surgery . Don't be too quick to say it will be a strong tandem. He is also getting older and they lost Mitchell and Gudbrandson.

I wouldn't say zero chance Florida finishes behind, but it's not good. It's strange that a pretty good team is going through such an extreme overhaul.

Mitchell was addition by subtraction... he was slow and an anchor on Guddie...

They are keeping their young core together though ...you can rotate complimentary and role players

Its how cups are won.

While I disagree with this at least it could happen

Fla just opened up like 5.5mil in cap space to likely acquire someone else in a trade(otherwise why dump Crouse to free up space, kid will be a solid top6). I doubt they are a bottom feeding team.

They removed 60 pt Hudler and put in MCCann and his 12 points.

Jagr one year will slow down , ok maybe not.

I also didn't see Avs make any big moves this summer and even though a coaching change might be a blessing here it could take a while to learn a new system

As long as they are relying on Lou to be 'their guy' FLA is in trouble.

It's like us relying on Miller...not gonna work.

And yes losing Guddy, Mitchell and Hudler is huge.
