Jamie Drysdale will lead all Anaheim Ducks defenders in scoring with 51 points in his second full NHL season and will end up in the top three for scoring amongst all skaters on the team. The 2020 sixth overall pick will have some tough competition, especially with the addition of John Klingberg, who signed in Anaheimfor one year in free agency. Dry...
Jacob Chychrun has a hot start to the season and is traded before the new year begins on January 1. It’s tank season for the Arizona Coyotes, so anyone who helps them win games is also actively hurting their chances at landing Connor Bedard in the 2023 Draft. Chychrun was considered one of the most valuable trade targets in the league for the major...
Linus Ullmark and Jeremy Swayman win the William M. Jennings Trophy as goalies who have played at least 25 games for the team that allowed the least goals against in the NHL. Everyone’s favourite goalie duo is back, and I predict that they will prove once again that goaltender tandems can actually work out. The duo had nearly identical statistics l...
The Buffalo Sabres will finally end their 11-year playoff drought, the longest playoff drought in NHL history. Typically, a team will only miss the playoffs for a handful of seasons before they rebuild enough that they can begin competing with the league’s better half. Let’s just say thatBuffalo’s rebuild has… not quite gone to plan. Despite their ...
If I had told you at the beginning of the summer that the Calgary Flames would lose their two best players this offseason in Johnny Gaudreau and Matthew Tkachuk, and would still come out of the summer looking better than ever, would you have believed me? I predict that the Flames will not only be as good as last year but better as they will win the...
I predict that the Carolina Hurricanes will win the Stanley Cup in the 2022-23 season. Few teams have added the type of top-end talent that the Canes have in Max Pacioretty and Brent Burns, so it is shocking to see how low the cost was to add such players on the trade market. Pacioretty was acquired from Vegas for “future considerations”(read: free...
The Chicago Blackhawks are another team that is doing their best to lose as many games as possible this year. I predict that Patrick Kane starts the year too good for the team, scoring 30+ points in their first 25 games, which leads to him being traded long before the trade deadline to help the team tank. Kane will earn the Hawks a hefty trade retu...
Nathan MacKinnon hits 100 points for the first time in his career. I predict that he will demolish his previous career high of 99 points (2018-19) and will score 120 points in a full 82-game season. It’s hard to believe that MacKinnon hasn’t broken triple digits yet in his career considering he’s been one of the league’s most electric offensive tal...
Patrik Laine will score 40+ goals for the first time since his sophomore season when he scored 44 goals in 82 games for the Winnipeg Jets. The Blue Jackets shocked the hockey world this summer when they signed star winger Gaudreauin free agency, a move that few saw coming. The addition of Gaudreau and the contract extension that Laine signed has se...
The version of Jake Oettinger that we saw in the first round of last year’s playoffs against Calgary was no fluke, as “Otter” will establish himself as an excellent starting goalie this year like Thatcher Demko did after “Bubble Demko” debuted in the 2020 Bubble playoffs. However, Oettinger is currently a restricted free agent (RFA) without a contr...
