The new names to the opening night roster will be Horvat, Engvall, Hudson Fasching, Julian Gauthier, Samuel Bolduc and Simon Holmstrom. Pretty clear upgrade from last year.
Perhaps; they played at 104 point pace with Horvat and that was with Barzal missing 23 games. Most have them between 92-96 points and playoffs will depend on what the teams from 7-12 in conference improve or others slide back.
First of all: I hope I am wrong! As far as "most of them" I always discount what the hometown reporters predict - it is their job to err on the side of optimism (see local NY Giants predictions as an example!). Let the games begin!
Nice attempt at spin, but the more important point is who did they replace those 7 spots with?

Well, I don't bet against my teams on principle, but if I did, I'd bet they miss the playoffs.
