David Krejci announces he's going back home (Czech Republic) to play.

 

[AH$$$]

I know he is a Bruin, but what an amazing hockey player. Him and Bergeron should go down as the best 1-2 Center tandem since he came into the league.

Wow seem like many atlantic division teams took a beating this off season.

Panthers improved.

 

[AH$$$]

Panthers improved.

Panthers goaltending is suspect. Knight is a rookie with 2 games worth of experience.

But yeah given what happened with Krejci, and the way the rosters currently stand, its probably Florida's division to lose..

Lost entire 3rd line - TBay & Bruins will take significant steps back, Leafs also hit to a lesser extent all which favors Fla

And us if we can add a center and PMD. Don’t forget we’ve added about 50 goals in Caufield and Hoffman.

Improved PP & 3-on-3 OT should result in net 7-10 points improvement in standings over last regular season IMO - including a step back in 5-on-5 scoring due to Danault’s loss + regression of TBay/Bruins/Leafs

 

[Habsy]

Right now I put the Habs in the fifth spot behind Boston at four. Not far behind mind you, a lot of question marks for the B's.

I don't see how Florida is better than Tampa, even after losing players.

Kucherov, Stamkos, Point, Palat, Cirelli, Killorn vs Barkov, Huberdeau, Hornqvist, Duclair, Vatrano, Verhaeghe
Hedman, McDonagh, Sergachev, Cernak vs Ekblad, Montour, Weegar, Forling
Vasilevsky vs Bobrovsky/Knight

It's truly amazing the job that Chiarelli and Holland have done.

 

[Krustchev]

Eichel is going to be traded in the next few days, unless Adams is a moron, and he’s a Harvard man so . . . The longer they wait to let him have his surgery, the less he’s worth in trade.

Florida will be better than Tampa in the regular season.

 

[Krustchev]

I doubt Tampa cares.

 

[GrandWazoo]

Tampa is going to have Kucherov this year.
Also depends on the goaltending that Florida will get.
