Your hot takes for the upcoming season league wide

I think that’s a 50/50 shot, leaning more to not ready than ready.

McDavid can’t play defence.

I know I know McDavid is no good etc..., but this isn't the EING thread. There's no way McDavid is playing 3rd line.
Crosby v McDavid is debatable for 1st line C, but he's certainly not behind Bergeron.

I want to see Mackinnion Mcdavid Crosby line

I feel like Canada could run a forward group of just centers

[MrMike]

Okay let’s try all centers.

Mackinnon Mcdavid Crosby
Point Bergeron Orielly
Tavares Scheifele Stamkos
Couturier Barzal Horvat

Toews if he’s playing good again

Eric Gudbranson, under the tutelage of Darryl Sutter will finally realize his 3rd overall draft potential.

[Scroopy Noopers]

Flames have the best assembled team in the league. Top to bottom.

And McDavid would be the boat anchor on that line with his dopey defensive laziness *cues replay of Kyle Connor's series winning goal*

I was looking for the general 'players around the league' thread (found the one from previous season, but not the current...) - this thread will serve the same purpose and is probably worth a bump after just 3 months.


Not necessarily this thread, but a lot of off-season comments about Tarasenko being damaged trash...7G 19P in 24gp.

JVR on the other hand showing that last year was an anomoly...just 2G 6P in 23gp.

Ghost has 17 points...Risto has 5. Both playing a touch over 21mins. OEL also with 5, playing over 22 mins. Of course each are on terrible teams

Pavelski 19P in 21gp; Letang 17P in 21.

Jeff Skinner already with 8G 16P in 24gp...last year he had 7G 14P in 53.

Mikael Granlund has 26p in 24gp.

The OP looking not half bad at this point. Still a long way to go though.
