Hard to argue with that ranking. At least most of the fanbase (CP at least) isn't lying to themselves and is pretty realistic about the situation. The team lost their captain. The 2 biggest starts on the team are going into the last year of their contracts and eyeing UFA status. The #1C is a question mark. This season's hope is resting on the laurels of a goalie who is injured often, and hoping the head coach can turn water into wine. The team is likely going to be bottom for offence.
30th place seems about right. I also agree with Buffalo being 31st. At least we aren't like them...
