.500 puts a team 10-15 out of a WC spot.
Suzuki and Caufield have indeed been brilliant. They will drag a 30-32 team to about 22-26, which is where I think we settle.
I think we’re in the 6-10 range for the lottery.

After Habs handle TBay & Fla at the end of the month, the naysayers will need to accept the inevitable…
This is a 11-17OA draft pick team - 17OA pick puts them in wild card contention.
If for nothing other than the Atlantic division spread will be peanut buttered across many more teams than previous seasons - smaller gap between 1st & last place teams in the division, putting more teams in playoff contention. Which could potentially have a domino effect of fewer teams willing to sell / be buyers at deadline remaining status quo

As the season progresses Suzuki and Caufield’s production will decline. The four rookie defenseman will experienced growing pains. Allen will be overplayed and show why he is a career backup. I expect we will pick in th 6-10 range.

Youthful ignorance is a beautiful thing and MSL seems to be playing that card to perfection - not understanding & being aware that you’re expected to suck as a team
Allen I agree has elite numbers his entire career when limited to playing 36GP, Dikembe is definitely a wild card in all this.
If anything, it will likely increase. Caufield has had very few multiple goal games so far. He’s due for a few.

Suzuki’s shooting % is .27, which is unsustainable. It was above .3, which is bananas. It will gradually drift down to .2, which is still quite good.
Keep trying to convince yourself of that. Suzuki tends to only shoot from high danger areas anyway.

Also I find this current version of the Habs team seems to exhibit a strong capacity to learn from their errors. Despite not having 2-minute eating vets (Money-hands & Savard), team didn’t repeat the same errors as the night before in Van.
A very small & limited data point, but that trend seems to be repeating thus far this season - team game shows a penchant for learning from its mistakes

It will likely drift down. .27 is abnormally high, even for legit snipers.

I will get banned again soon, worry not.
I'm not overly impressed with Wright or Slaf, to be honest. I think we're years away from knowing whether we got the better player or not.

Admittedly I don’t have an overly informed opinion on the draft. I just always lean to centre over winger.
