I don’t like predicting a teams potential until at least training camp. Could be more moves or big risers/fallers.

Just means I’m gonna be even more rich when they win the cup 🙏

Hard to argue with that. They’ve improved, but all of the new additions have question marks surrounding them, and the one top-end piece (Hronek) is coming off of injury.

Fuck ‘em.

Fuck these predictions.
They’ve only been right 7 out of the last 8 seasons.

Betway has the playoff cutoff 6 points ahead of where they have the Canucks finishing.
That sounds about right to me. The Canucks are expected to be on the outside looking in but if things go right its not a lot of ground to make up.

If I had to guess, I would set up my standings as such:
1. Vegas/Edmonton
2. Edmonton/Vegas
3. Los Angeles
4. Seattle
5. Calgary/Vancouver
6. Vancouver/Calgary
7. San Jose
8. Anaheim
Vegas and Edmonton are interchangeable I’d say as the only thing stopping Edmonton is shit goaltending and defence and the only thing stopping Vegas is staying healthy. Either way, both teams should be a lock for 1 and 2.
LA will more than likely finish 3rd again as they have been consistent the last few years doing so. They haven’t had any major subtractions from the team so far either.
Seattle is interesting because they either take a step forward and improve further or they take a step back because last year was luck. I don’t think they take a step back but it really depends on the goaltending.
I don’t expect Calgary to be too good if they are looking to sell of Hanifin, Backlund and Lindholm but if they don’t then they’ll be good enough for a 5th or 6th finish.
For Vancouver, ever since the season Benning was fired I’ve just had zero expectations. It’s easier to have zero expectations and not be disappointed when they fall short. On the flip side, zero expectations is fine because if the way win then your expectations are surpassed and you have fun along the way.
San Jose and Anaheim are pretty secluded explanatory.

Team that’s missed playoffs 9 out of previous 10 seasons predicted to miss playoffs

The window is closing on the Canucks. If they don’t make playoffs this year, Pettersson can ask for a trade in which case we’d get launched into a rebuild. Quinn Hughes would then either let his contract play out and then sign elsewhere or he’d ask for a trade in which case we have lost our core putting a rebuild on the list unquestionably

Can we check with the Evensmakers?

Calgary in 4th is a take, unless Backlund, Lindholm, Hanafin, Zadorov, and Tanev extend there’s no way they hang onto those expiring contracts

im gonna be honest they are probably right
pacific division is fucking stacked idk how we edge any of those teams unless something huge happens (injuries or a big trade)
i think we made some really good moves this offseason but it takes more than just one season to fix how many years worth of shit (benning era).
i want them to make the playoffs but idk how realistic it is.

The first 10 games will be very telling as far as our fate goes. We’re definitely the underdogs, so hopefully they can put it together early.

I don’t get why the sports media makes odd makers as « predictors ». They set their odds so their books stay in the positive, and they make a profit.

If a lot of people bet on the same outcome, odds makers lower its return, to deter people from betting on it. All degenerate gamblers know this 😛

BREAKING NEWS: ODDSMAKER BET THAT ONE OF THE WORST TEAMS IN THE TEAM WILL MISS PLAYOFFS
NerdPunch
Vancouvers in an interesting spot where… until they start making the playoffs they shouldn’t be considered more likely to make the playoffs than miss.
I think they nailed their offseason in terms of value-bets, they added a top-4 RHD at last seasons TDL, they have a new coaching staff, they should get a lift in goaltending next season… there’s a lot to be optimistic about.
That optimism needs to be cautious optimism though.

What an awkward position the Canucks will be in if they do miss the playoffs this coming season.
Do change course and actually burn it down?

If the Canucks can just be better on the PK, I like their odds.

It’ll all come down to injuries. If our big boys can stay healthy we’ll be fine.

Fair enough. Too many question marks need to go right
