They will finish between 27-30. A full 82 games with our youth, our defense and the complete lack of experience in goal is not going to be pleasant in the standings.
I have a hard time seeing how Nashville is going to be worse, they still have Weber and Rinne. That's two all world players at their respective positions.
The flames have one top line player. And even then I'm not sure he's a top line guy on a playoff team.
Florida will be tough. But their young talent is two years into its pro development so they should be making strides.
Carolina shouldn't be add bad as they were if ward is healthy.
Who knows with Tampa. They may outscore everyone. Their d still sucks. Bishop may or may not turn out.
At this point, the flames have to be 30th place favourites.
