I think Buffalo and Columbus probably have the best odds. Columbus had their opening night roster together for 7 games in total last year.

Buffalo, Ottawa, Pittsburgh, and maybe Detroit.

Calgary. They seem to switch between being good and bad every season.

I think the Pens are the most logical choice here. My heart wants Buffalo to get in.

It would be shocking if the Pens went out and got Karlsson and then still missed playoffs

Pittsburgh has at least one more run left in them after getting Karlsson. I think Washington is also being written off too soon.

Sabres, Flames, Sens (big one), Penguins and maybe nucks/preds. Out of that list I’d say Buffalo and Ottawa have the best chances.

Could see Ottawa & Calgary making it in.

My team, the Sharks, definitely aren’t making it in. Only thing I hope we win in 2024 is the #1 pick

Gotta go with my Sabres. We’ve been bad long enough.

Safe: Penguins and Flames

Ima go ahead and say Arizona is gonna be in there. No logical reasoning just think they’ll be a surprise once playoffs come around.

The Caps. The coach change to Carbery is huge. It comes with a new PP strategy (that I’m sure will still feature PLENTY of Ovi ‘office’ time), actually playing good/younger players, and a full reset for Kuzy (but cocaine still an illegal PED 😞 /s). I don’t think this makes them a Cup contender but a bounce back? Sure.

Calgary, Ottawa and Pittsburgh I expect to make the playoffs this season.
Arizona will finish 1 spot outside in the west.

Blackhawks and red wings. (I’m biased though because I live in Detroit) 😅

Depends on how you define bounce back. Last year the Flyers were dreck and the fans were furious with management. This year the Flyers will be less dreck and I’ll wager the fans are happy with what they see.

Give me Detroit or Pittsburgh here
pye-oh-my
I am a homer for the Habs, but I can’t believe nobody thinks they can bounce up.
We spent half of last year playing our Laval team because everybody was injured.
If we stay healthy, Suzuki, Caulfield, Dach et al will surprise a lot of teams that don’t see any threat in Montreal.

I’m excited for the Red Wings as always. Think this year is gonna be a good one.

Buffalo and Ottawa will both make it. They will actually finish in 2nd and 3rd respectively in the Atlantic
