had a good year last year and was able to follow others to a very profitable season, look forward to it again this season.
For now just futures:
Winnipeg under 93.5 2 units
this team took a step back in a lot of areas and have some contracts looming for their stars. lost myers and trouba on defense and there is a lot of firepower they are up against in thier division. i think winnipeg is fourth in the division behind st louis, dallas and colorado....may be on the outside lookin in come playoff time....maybe even trade some players as the deadline approaches. had 99 points last year, i expect them to take a step back.
Dallas over 96.5 2 units
one of the better offseasons in the nhl and little talk about them, a lot of hype around colorado which i will back away from a little since its so trendy. like the pavelski signing and they are a tough gritty team on defense. like what they showed in the playoffs last year and like them to compete for the division and get over 100 points.
Pittsburgh under 94.5 2 units
just a confusing offseason in my opinion. they let kessel go i guess for some locker room reasons. they traded oleksiak and have a lot of young forwards. in the end i just dont see how they stop teams defensively even though they can score. crosby is going to be asked to do a lot a sid isnt that much of a kid anymore...
Vegas over 101.5 2 units
best team in the west in my opinion at least to start the season. should come out strong and i think considerably better than anyone in their division
Washington over 97.5 2 units
Homer pick....i named my son Holtby.......i love the caps. team is still very good, talented and good depth. not sure how gudas will fit in and losing niskanen and orpik are unfortunate but they were aging players that had big contracts. having them come off the books should help resign holtby and backstrom in the offseason. like keeping hagelin a lot, was a very important player on the penalty kill and should save some of the aging legs that the stars have so that we can have another shot at the cup
Caps to win division 2 units +300
Vegas to win the west 2 units +325
Dallas to win division 1 unit at +400
cheers to a great season
lets win some $
