Carolina is a good bet here I’m with you on that. Bold predictions with Pete in the 100 point territory.

Hart: Makar
Art Ross: Leon Draistle
Richard: Ovie/ Mathews
Norris: Makar
Vezina: Andersen
Selke: Bergeron
Calder: Nick Robertson or Andrei Kuzmenko.

Lol , ya I'm stretching with Petterson. with all the talent in the league, I know I've missed some .
Is Kuzmenko eligible? If so, he's a good bet. Also, watching Robertson in preseason , he looks to have turned the corner, however, its pre season, so see what things look like after 20 games.
Taking Draisitle to win Art Ross? Are you thinking McDavid has injuries.? Or he just had a better year?

05 Oct 2022 23:45:52
I just feel like Drais will out score McDavid. Just a gut feeling. Pete is unreal there’s definitely a chance especially with Kuzmenko on the wing.

Kuzmenko-Pete-Boeser
Miller-Horvat-Garland

That’s a very good top 6.

Robertson has really came alive in the preseason I’m hoping he follows in his bros footsteps. Already has the 2nd to best shot on the leafs.

Does anyone else see Buffalo being a Bedard and a starting goalie away from being potentially the greatest Dynasty since the Montreal Canadians in the original 6?

Thompson-Berdard-Quinn
Savoie-Cozens-Tuch
Skinner-Mittelstad-Perterka
Krebs-Olfsson-Asplund
Oslund-Rosen

Dahlin-Jokerhariju
Power-Lybushkin

I don't see the vision you do. However, there are lots of good peices, as long as they all reach the potential they have.
I think the 80s Oilers are the last team we will see that displayed pure dominance for more than 5 consecutive years. If not for the Steve Smith blunder, I believe they would have beat my Habs and tied for most,
Off topic, but I wonder, if they would have won the 5 in a row, does Gretzky get traded in 88? Or do him and the Oilers go for 6? Lots of what ifs I suppose

Vb, Buffalo does look promising, however, id also say Ottawa can be great as well.
Many teams However are a Bedard and starting goalie away from Greatness.

That is true but I’m Just eyeing really a D core of Dahlin and Power. In 3-4 years time they could 2 top 5 dman on the same team with potentially a top 5 player in the game in Bedard. You also have Quinn who is looking unreal I could see this guy being a superstar within 2-3 years. Tuch and Thompson are debatably among the top 10-15 PWF in the NHL currently. Peterka, Krebs, Savoie and Cozens are very promising that’s at the very least 2 top 6 players probably one of them becomes elite and I’m looking at Savoie to be that guy. Olfsson and Skinner are what they are and skinner honestly probably hurts more then helps with his contact. Then to put icing on the cake you got two first round forward picks in Oslund and Rosen + even Mittelstad as potential future impact players. The Sabres are in good hands.

But yes the oilers somehow blew past my mind. Pretty hard to beat them. Could see Berdard being Lemieux to Gretzkys McDavid. Quinn=Kurri and Dahlin=Coffee. Obviously they are missing Messier here but when you look at the depth it cancels out imo.

It's so hard now though VB with the salary cap. I think these exceptional teams have about a 5 year window, maybe a little more. So to be a Dynasty like Edmonton, Montreal, NYI, its almost impossible.
You make good points, and Power and Sandin will be great, as would Bedars. But, when they are all in their prime, that's a minimum of 30 million if they reach potential. so, just so hard.

05 Oct 2022 00:28:43
I agree with you Sossa 100% the salary cap does hurt things alot.

And let’s hope Sandin will be great lol ;)

05 Oct 2022 02:52:23
Haha. I screwed that up. haha. No. Dahlin that guy I meant.

Hey TrevorA. You wanted proof Chychrun wants to go to Ottawa? Here it is.

19 Aug 2022 11:01:02
Woah price is doneso.

Caufield -Suzuki-Anderson
Dadanov-Dach-Hoffman
Gallagher-Dvorak- Slavkovsky
Penzetta- Evans-

20 Aug 2022 16:14:38
Gonna have to get rid of some guys. you don't have Armia, Drouin or Monohan.

20 Aug 2022 18:03:11
Dvorak is tradeable. Try to trade Drouin, Gallagher. I think with Caufield, Dach, Suzuki, Slavkovsky that’s a good start to a young forward core. Not sure why they traded Romanov, he and Guhle could have been a good start to a D core as well. Barron could be good but it’s looking pretty bleak on the back end.

23 Aug 2022 04:16:07
no for sure, i feel on d there's a lot of optimism but no proven players. A true only time will tell. Eitehr way I feel pretty confident this management group is gunna bring us to glory. Blows my mind bergevin did this all alone and now we have like a dozen people filling roles.
