I've been a Devils fan for nearly forty years, and I do love a lot of he off-season moves they made. That said, they are not a Stanley Cup Favorite this year. They just tweaked the roster around the edges and got some new goaltending. It's going to take at least a season for them to gel enough. I DO think they are a playoff team, and could possibly contend into the second or third rounds, but a Stanley Cup favorite? Not likely. I think the Rangers have a better chance at the Cup than NJ... At least for this year. 2025-26 will be very interesting though.

Given the time he's going to get in Washington he's a legit 2C 60+ point player. When you add a guy like that to a team that went to the playoffs last year- it's an improvement. Washington's top scorer last year was Strome with 67 points. PLD has a real chance to be Washington's best player so yeah that's a big impact. Don't focus on whether he's worth his contract or if he's a legit franchise 1C - he isn't - but he's a massive upgrade for Washington and he's going to make them better. Mangiapane replaces Oshie. Wilson is healthy. McMichael and Lapierre and Miroshnichenko and Protas all have more experience. Strome continues to be Strome. That 4th line is legit. Ovechkin is 41 goals away from the record coming off a 31g season. The defense is dramatically improved giving Washington a legit top6 for the first time in a long time. Goaltending is improved. Rookie coach has a year of experience....there's a lot to like here and some key guys in contract years so they could be motivated to step it up.

@@mikeb.2925 yeah the PLD trade looks terrible when looking at the cap hit, bu Washington was the best team he could have gone to. Already looking at a potential rebuild when Ovi retires so cap space wonÄ't be an issue, entering into a team with no legitimate top line centers so he can take an important role, and hopefully his failure in LA will be a wake up call to get him going again. He's not a bad hockey player, just seems to be unmotivated and lazy or mentally fragile so he quits too easy. Still a point producer when going so I can see him working out quite well for the Caps and all they gave up was a backup goalie. Strangely enough, the trade looks like a win win which I never thought possible with a PLD trade.

Washington really needs help on the power play, and Dubois should give them that help. Dubois isn't just going to get first line or second line minutes (and good linemates), but he should also get a lot of power play time alongside Ovechkin. Ovechkin, Dubois, and Wilson are borderline between first line and second line players, but that's going to be a physically dominating line (with defensive issues). All three guys are huge and powerful players.

I dont understand why everyone is discounting Tampa Bay. I get that Stamkos is out. His plus/minus was the worst on Tampa -21. I usually don't put to much stock into this stat, but I don't know how else to describe his 5v5 play. Half of his goals were on the pp. PP goals are hard to come by in the playoffs. Guentzel will make this team much more balanced 5v5. Lost Sergachev but gained a former captain in McDonagh and a speedy defender Moser. Vasilevskiy was recovering from back surgery last year and now has a full off-season to get back to form. Cooper is still the head coach. Is it because they have been good for so long that they have to take a step back because looking at them on paper, they definitely look like an improved team. Just my opinion though.

As a Ducks fan I do agree this coming season they will be near the bottom BUT unless they win the lottery, I don't see them picking in the top five for the draft. I see them improving moderately but still a little ways off from the playoffs. Expect to see them draft anywhere from seventh to tenth overall.

I'd be hesitant to put my devils as a favorite but we deserve no less than contender. Last year was egregiously disappointing and I hope an anomaly. If that proves true, they could be a sneaky favorite. A mix of skill and nasty may surprise some folks and that has historically made NJ dangerous in the playoffs.

Genuine question coming from a Sabres fan. If we fail to make the playoffs again this year, does Lindy Ruff get canned after 1 year? And who can they possibly add to their group to get them back in the dance? I’d love to hear from people on this

Well on thing is the organization can’t panic and make rash decisions. But if we don’t get it done this year. If it was up to me I’d go all in spend to the cap pull a crazy trade or be more aggressive in free agency. We’re close. Need another top 6 forward and another right shot defenseman I think we could make it. I think the hire of Lindy Ruff is great. The past few years our defense was a joke and we didn’t believe in hitting or aggression. Lindy runs a tight ship always has . I think we can get 95 to 100 points this year. My prediction is 45-27-10

i expect in the east: FLA - Bruins - Leafs - TBL Canes - Devils - NYR - Caps Caps will battle with Buffalo, Isles, Pens for the last spot. Contenders: FLA, Canes, Devils, NYR, maybe Bruins. West: Preds - Avs - Dallas - Jets Oilers - Nucks - Vegas - and the last one will be hard, i take Seattle. LAK and STL are bubble out. Contender: Preds, Avs, Oil Dallas D signings don`t kick me, Avs depend a lot on goalie and injuries. Devils and Preds did really well.

Devils are just a playoff team for me. They are in a tough division and compared to teams like the Rangers and Canes they are not likely to get past the second round let alone the first round. They will definitely be a lot better than last year, granted they have no significant injuries. The changes were made did patch up some holes on their roster. That being said, they are still a pretty soft team with a lack of experience and depth, so I think they will maybe finish 3rd in the metro and be out in the first round.

Same with LA. They’ve done nothing to improve. They’ll miss. With Utah, you gotta remember they were sixth last, I think they’ll do better, but IMO, not playoffs, though I’d watch every game if they made it.

Disagree with a Keefe team being a Stanley Cup favorite, especially a team that missed the playoffs last year. If you want two from each division there, it should be the Rangers IMO. Buffalo and Washington over Tampa Bay and Ottawa is a really hot take IMO, maybe not Ottawa, but their goaltending and coaching improved to the point where I can see them squeaking in.

with what talent? Their division is very top heavy and on paper there are 4 teams ahead of them off the bat, so WC is the only avenue. They are not finishing ahead of NYR, NJD, CAR this season. Nj got stronger, NYR is basically the same team without the rentals, and CAR is still strong but wont be #1 in Metro. NYI can't get enough goals and their roster is old.

Buffalo over Detroit as a playoff team, I think this kid don't know too much about hockey to be honest with the Islanders, not making a capitals, not making it. The Red Wings will definitely make it over the senators and Buffalo and the capitals. There's no way those teams are going to be over the Red Wings this year.
