HOW DARE YOU SPEAK THIS WAY OF THE YZERPLAN!!! (I get it, a few folks are already there)

Alex Lyon is an interesting one. Bobrovsky is still under contract and Knight has completed his Players Assistance program and will be back playing with the team in the fall (according to Zito). So where does that leave Lyon as a UFA?
I actually really like Lyon and would love to see him playing quite a bit. However, I can’t imagine the Panthers using their small cap space to sign him when they need a stronger Defense.

My favorite part is that you have the Oilers finishing 1st in the West but still not making the Stanley Cup Finals.

As long as Ovi scores goals, most Caps fans understand that some rebuilding needs to be done and that is hard to do when we have some crazy contracts on the books. We are now paying the 2018 cup tax. If it seems we are hopeless once a few of the older expensive guys are off the books, then faith will be lost.

Nah the Yzerplan is still in strong support. Holland left a huge mess.

Flyers will be bad, but not bad enough to get a top pick.

Everything except playoffs at Mullett.

No. NJ will not win the President’s Trophy. I will not allow that cursed trophy come to NJ!

Canucks fans continue to throw jerseys on the ice in protest of our god awful ownership. Chants every game of “sell the team” echo throughout the arena. But Aquilini continues to have zero vision for the franchises future and instead of selling the team, he continues to raise beer prices to ludicrous new highs.
And to round it all off, we finish in our usual 10-12 place finish after a late season push to give the fans just enough hope that we might squeak into a playoff spot, then that hope gets crushed…. As usual…

Looks good to me

I… think we may have a disappointing year. I hate to even say it but I think it’ll be similar to this one.

All of us Red Wings fan are on the same page. Stevie Y’s got our backs. I trust him with my life.

A Buffalo-Toronto series for our first series since 2012 would be soooo electric
WubbaLubbaDubDub184
Most of these are plausible except for the Coyotes one. I feel like they may even finish last next year, but I’m not certain there will be playoff hockey there.

Being full against the cap and with no relief in sight, and even with the best goalie in the league, my NY Rangers will not make the playoffs.

Relax, we’re just having some pre-season fun! Yzerman’s got this, no worries!
TheIncredibleHork
Every player that just got bought out will come back hard this year and make their former teams regret it.
Bailey hat trick against the Isles? Guaranteed.
Duchene 65 point season? Hell, play the over on that.
Wheeler? Destined to score the goal that knocks the Jets out of the playoffs.
GravyBurgerBonanza
I’ll get hammered at a few Kraken games

The Wild are coming off a season where we were easily a playoff team playing with only 85% of our cap space and significant injuries, It’s gonna take a lot to shake our faith in GMBG. It’s certainly not impossible, but a bad season was well within reasonable expectations for last year and this year is even worse. We have pretty much no bad contracts left outside of the buyouts, our prospect pool is still one of the best in the league, and it’s very likely that even if we decide to be sellers, we’ll have our share of wins and be watchable in losses. If there’s any pressure, it’s for 24-25 to be the year we emerge as contenders.

If Erik Karlsson is traded from San Jose before or during the season, I have a hard time seeing them win 20 games.
New Jersey with the team they have put together, I think, has a legitimate shot at the Presidents trophy and potentially going far in the playoffs.
saucytopcheddar
Canucks end up in the playoff hunt and, subsequently, trade their 2024 1st rounder for a veteran contract with term… then finish 9th in the west.
Pensfan66595
Several teams will have a tv deal similar to what Vegas has.
VinPickles
Islanders fans will start to lose faith in the gm…
2 years ago called and said no shit. Bit late
SvelterMicrobe17
As a sharks fan I’m okay with this. We’re two years away from most of our prospects playing in the first place, might as well get one/two more solid tanks in
Tigernadds
Jokes on you! I’ve never had faith in Minnesota sports!
glitchycat39
Oi, don’t you put that evil on the Devils.
GeckoMoria93
We better win less than 20 games ,the rebuild is on lol
TrumpetSensei
Stars in 5

I don’t think Detroit will ever lose faith in Stevie Y.
Juice_Wigalow
Those are legit. I don’t want to say it but Ovi will miss a substantial portion of the season. Hellebuyck lands in Carolina. LA deeply regrets what they traded for PLD
Lowpingmaster
Stars have a 50/50 chance of making scf
arazamatazguy
I think the Panthers are one and done.
CKohlman97
As a Devils fan while part of me would love to win the President’s trophy b/c it would mean that New Jersey has another successful season the other half of me doesn’t want it b/c of the highly debated curse which if I’m being honest I believe had something to do with Boston being eliminated in the first round, especially after leading their series 3 to 1.
AlpineSK
I agree with most of this but I don’t see any red wings fans losing faith in Yzerman.
Neteni_
Trashers goanna win the cup
kaeji
Great. Now the Sharks will defiantly win 21 games and fall out of the top lottery odds.
Again.
MNtherealChuck
Wild fan here. Wild will lose the first round in 2 games.
just watch.
SaltHandle3065
Legit question- why are people saying Yzerman has only been GM for two years? I looked it up. He was hired April 19, 2019🤷🏼♂️
Par_105
Buffalo. In the playoffs. Straight into my veins please
jddev_
Elias Pettersson will finish the season with 125 points.
The Canucks will miss the playoffs.
Hoorayforfemboys2311
As an oiler fan i do not want to see Vegas return to the final…
wikipuff
GMBM is definitely losing support around here. He only saving grace is he hired a coach who knows the prospects.
milehighposse
Edmonton winning the west, hahahahahahaha…
SpiceBoiGauvaJuice
the mullet arena playoff game would be amazing
throwawayyourfun
Arizona will also play in the league.
TechnicalTaco06V7
Then Vancouver Canucks will wildly overpay someone in free agency, bet heavily on a couple reclamation projects, flounder in mediocrity for most of the season, and go on a heater just late enough to miss the playoffs and still miss a lottery pick.
