zillyalright so the other 5 guys in this thread can reply their playoff predictions
hi, one of the other 5 guys here
my teams already in so i cant say much other than we need to get healthy again. we replaced role-players within the system with role-players outside of it, so itll take some time to either adjust or get hall and foligno back. orlov's delivering so far, hathaway can generate assists, and bertuzzi hasnt gotten any majors yet, but theres defo more to be desired.
there is a genuine cliff between the haves and have-nots in the west, and playoff predictions there are kinda pointless. that said, every western contender has the exact same record, so the difference between first and eighth seed can be as little as a good final week.
i see the sens as (maybe) a dark horse eighth seed in the atlantic. while the panthers have been kinda hanging in there, bobby's been getting battered, and theyve done nothing to install new pylons for him. the sabres, on the other hand, still seem to be selling despite their recent success. i dont know how long they'll last either.
