Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

Sabres are on the right path imo. Whether it's this year or next I don't know, but they will be a force sooner rather than later.

Summer 2018-
I believe I raved about Armstrong's moves all that summer...

You had

- Toronto over Tampa (ended up 28 points behind
- Philly in 2nd in the Metro (finished with 82 points)
- The islanders dead last in the Metro (finished 2nd)
- Boston as a WC team (2nd in the conference)
- Way wrong on Edmonton & Minnesota in the west
- Wrong on Vegas because of course you were

There's some good calls in their too, maybe we don't have the same definition of "fantastic". Really feels like we're in a "fire enough shit against the wall" scenario here.

they're probably gonna bet on Levi in net, but he's a bit of a midget.

they do have a very nice young crew in Dahlin 23, Power 21, Cozens 22, Quinn 22, Peterka 21, Samuelsson 23 that they can legit expect growth from.

Zach Benson has star potential, and Kulich is gonna be damn good too.

Also Levi is 6'0, small for an NHL goalie but kinda stretching the definition of the word "midget". Still only 21 so too early to count on him yet though.

Sorry but when you pick the Blues to win the cup 10 months before they do, it is a fantastic pick. You left that one out.

6'0 is kind of a midget for a goalie. Saros was the only goalie in the top 15 in SV% who is under 6'1, and one of only 2 under 6'2...with the other being a bit of an outlier/one hit wonder (Georgiev)

Not impossible, but it's an uphill climb.

Really depends on the definition of young, because if Toronto's core doesn't count anymore...then Buffalo's core is Dahlin, Power, Cozens, the other Quinn, Samuelsson. Which is good, but best in the league?

Imo NJ has a better D prospect pool. More offensive.

Buffalo is immediately disqualified because of Tage fucking Thompson.
 
I like Buffalo but they're just not as young as people want them to be, and they've already had their offensive outbreaks and still couldnt make the playoffs. Like Ottawa.

The Leafs by comparison were instant playoffs teams when they were younger, and an elite team at their age.
