Predicting the 2018/19 Standings
Posted 3:38 PM ET | Comments 6
After a crazy ride of a year where two teams many predicted to not come close to a cup were in the final; it is time to follow that up with more predictions.
Western Conference:
Central:
1. Nashville Predators - 115 pts
A slight dip just because it can be difficult to maintain, but this is the team to beat in the Central.
2. Winnipeg Jets - 113 pts
A closer fight where the Jets will just need the playoffs to prove bragging rights.
3. St Louis - 101 pts
Many good solid additions.
4. Dallas - 96 pts
They fought and reached the playoffs.
5. Minnesota - 93 pts
After just missing, they now see more is needed with Fenton.
6. Colorado - 90pts
They have a strong building future, just too much competition and missed out. Bright future.
7. Chicago - 80pts
A better year but their time is gone.
Pacific:
1. Edmonton - 108pts
A huge jump and Chiapet is still in charge but with RNH, Draisatl, Mcdavid and a healthy Klefbom along with a better Talbot this team as the pieces for a big jump.
2. Los Angeles - 102 pts
Kovalchuk heps with that extra piece this tem needed before its eventual downturn.
3. Vegas - 98pts
Vegas makes the playoffs but loses a bit of ground as many players could not repeat exact success.
4. Calgary - 95 pts
Just enough to squeeze in playoffs.
5. San Jose - 93 pts
Their aging roster could not do it.
5. Arizona - 93 pts
Just not enough to make the playoffs but a great season for them.
6. Anaheim - 91 pts
Improved teams, Carlyle and a core that is aging is not a good combo.
7. Vancouver - 70 pts
Improving yes, but this team is much farther away than ownership thinks.
Eastern Conference
Atlantic Division
1. Toronto - 114pts
Tavares, Reilly, Matthews, Nylander and Marner lead this team to a great season.
2. Tampa Bay - 113 pts
The battle for first was quite the battle and the last shootout win Toronto had over the Lightning is the most likely difference.
3. Boston - 104 pts
Not enough additions, but the team is still solidly strong.
4. Florida - 97pts
This time they nudged out New Jersey.
5. Montreal - 90 pts
A healthy and resurgent Price is not enough to help this team with far too many missing pieces. Although Drouin and Domi work well together.
6. Buffalo - 85 pts
This team is going to be scary, just need time.
7. Ottawa - 74 pts
Thankfully they are not last place and the only reason they improved is Anderson.
8. Detroit - 65 pts
This team is not good and management needs to see that.
Metropolitan
1. Pittsburgh - 105 pts
They finally beat the Caps at the division/
2. Washington - 103 pts
They are still a good team and last years cup proves it. Gad Ovi got himself a cup he deserved it.
3. Philadelphia - 99 pts
JVR helps the team with more goals and thus one more point.
4. Columbus - 97 pts
This team is dragged but the Panarin drama but still manage the playofffs.
5. New Jersey - 95 pts
A building team they just didnt have enough to make two in a row. Very soon tho.
6. Carolina - 88 pts
Still missing offense, Brindamour needs more.
7. New York Rangers - 81 pts
Rebuilding still, it will be a road.
8. New York Islanders - 77 pts
No Tavares leads to Barzal leading them, but they have only 1 line, no defense and no goaltending. Weight wasn't as bad of a coach as many thought as Trotz cannot do enough.

Plan the parade past Tavares' parents house.
Toronto soon, but not this year. They lose in second round to TB, but next year and for more years to come, repeat Conference and Stanley Cup final entries
I am impressed to read your shred point tally. it helps you to make a mentally strong and easy to release your work stress after playing this spider solitaire online game, this is my favorite card game and i am happy with it.
