I would agree with you on Wifi. all the others grow up 2 inches with him in the lineup. that's a stat we do not see anywhere but which is pretty important.
I expect him to fight less often, to choose his fights, but I see him in the lineup on a regular basis.

this would be ideal, for sure. he can't say yes every single time he's invited to dance, he'll end up retiring in 2 years if he does that lol.

Hmmmm...my 5 predictions:

1) Paul Byron will officially be added to the Laval coaching roster before the NHL season starts.
2) Armia will be waived and demoted before the season begins.
3) Suzuki will lead the league in shootout goal percentages. Comparisons to Datsyuk will continue, and rightfully so.
4) Despite the change in the sports medicine team, Montreal will continue (unfortunately) to lead the league in games lost to injury. The mix of players with recurring injuries on the roster combined with the damage done my the inept past team will continue to contribute to more injuries.
5) As much as I love Wifi, he'll start the year in Laval. The pugilistic style just leads to more injuries, and I think the focus will be on overall team health as much as possible.

oh and I really like your Byron prediction, I'm sure he'd want to work with the big club right away but if there is no position available and/or if they want him to acquire experience he probably wouldn't mind having a role with the Rocket, he'd be great with the kids there.

I'd be surprised if Armia was waived so early, but sadly it would be kinda awesome (I say sadly because I don't hate the guy, but he never really fully brought his game with the habs except for on a few occasions).

Well, you tend to sit down a lot, to appear taller, so not surprising.

I guess MTL was missing a C for Laval (or 3rivieres) and OTT had one too many
