The nhl needs McDavid in the playoffs. I hope they make it.

He plays at a high rate of speed. It can bite him in the ass, as it has in the past. one wrong push.

I will say they make it if McDavid does not get hurt.

it wouldn't even shock me if they won the division or missed the playoffs. they're a confusing and hard to predict team after last season lol

it'll be interesting to see where they rank in the pre-season rankings once they start coming out. probably a lot of people are going to have them in the playoffs

They changed pretty much nothing this season and still have Lucic to kill the momentum of any line he's on. Unless Talbot stands on his head again I don't see them being over a 90pt team.

Vancouver and Arizona are DOA. Vegas will probably regress a bit but LA, SJS and ANA are still really strong teams with CGY being a bit of wildcard based on goalchie performance too.

At best I'd put them fighting for a wildcard.

(Forgot to caveat that I'm always wrong [except with Buffalo being poope] and everyone should enjoy Edmontons WCF appearance now)

No sedins this year. Even tho they were older they were somewhat productive still.

I think they are year away still from being able to surprise teams. They have a couple really good prospects though. Be curious to see what they do with that petterson kid this year.

Ovi is a frigging tank tho. They are built differently.

I hope that Gardiner puts up 60-70 points this year and prices himself out for the Leafs.

folks in here female dog and complain about the Leafs D core.. .and there's no doubt questions.

Edmonton in a similar place imho.

they would need a number of things to go right for them or at least not go badly for the Oilers to get into the playoffs again

1) McDavid health
2) awesome goaltending (consistently)
3) consistent defensive play
4) some balance in scoring

This had never occurred to me before but now that you've brought it to my attention I must disagree. The Brown/Hyman puns have run their course.

You're a funny guy Zezy. I like you. That's why I'm going to kill you last.
