Can see CGY finishing first again and VGK a close 2nd. EDM at 3rd then maybe SJ at 4th or the WC. Or maybe EDM and SJ swapping.
I see Van at 90 pts just missing the PO's but much improved to the 17-20 slot.

I know you have an unhealthy love affair with Edmonton, but I don't see them improving by 17pts and Canucks only 8 or nine.

Because they're that fcuking good, they don't need to be capitalized. |

I agree, I like the moves Benning has made to improve the wings and defense, just need to pray to the hockey gods for no injuries.
I'm not sure Calgary and San Jose will be as dominant as last year, so like Belcher I will predict a 3rd place finish.
PS. Love to see Toronto implode. - Makita

I think baring a EP,BB,BH extended injury they make it.
Our worst 2 D are out. And we have 3 substantially better, with QH being a potential big improvement.
We also upgraded the top 6 with size and speed and skill. Which pushes guys down that should be. Our forwards out vs. in are so much better.
96 points and we get in. It helps the pacific sucks. - canucksfan1944
Yes. Question remains on improvements is that the difference that makes them a bubble team or a playoff one.
The variable controls are internal gelling plus player improvement with health vs division rival decline performance. To defy the odds they need all the variables to hit in their favor.
At least the conversation now is they have a chance to make it happen. |

If he hopes getting rid of Lucic and adding Neal will do wonders imagine the Canuck's surge having LE removed.

What is gonna make Edmonton improve? James Neal lol..... They have no depth at all. If they lost Mcjesus they would be bottom of the conference. |

Just like last year...and the year before that, ohh and the year before that a playoff year....but wait for it, more years of multiple bottom feeding going on.
They are like Toronto, perennial bloody losers no matter how you dress them up |

An 8-10 point improvement seems realistic to me. Much better supporting cast, with Ferland, Benn and Myers...combined with continued maturation of the young core (likely-new-captain BH, BB and EP). I’m expecting Marky & Demko to be at least comparable, as a tandem, to the tending the Canucks had over the full season last year.
Whether they make the playoffs likely depends upon how many of those 8-10 points come against division rivals. |

Yeah, i think based on the jump with made last year with the addition of Pettersson, we have the chance to improve by even more this year with a revamped D corps and more forward depth - NorthNuck
Special teams should be better & can be the difference as the decider if a PO team or not. |
