The NHL Rewind Posted July 19 Share Posted July 19 Hey everyone, I haven't gotten a chance to get an article out on this topic, and not 100% sure I will be able to, but just wanted to share my list for the Pacific as well so that every division has been discussed! Admittedly, 2 through 4 is a very tight race in my books, and injuries might be the tie breaker... 1. Oilers 2. Canucks 3. Golden Knights 4. LA Kings 5. Seattle Kraken 6. Calgary Flames 7. Ducks 8. Sharks Let me know what you agree/disagree with! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anaheim will emerge and arise sooner than the sharks. Their young talent is coming of age. Carlsson, McTavish, Gauthier, Zellweger. Joining Zegras, Terry, Mintyukov in what will be a strong core. That's not even including Senneke and Solberg, who will also be very good players joining the core when guys like Killorn, Strome, Fowler age out of top spots. Their biggest anchor is Gibson. Dostal should displace him. The Sharks are going to have some growing pains with Celebrini and Smith being 1st year guys and Dickenson being 2 years away. Maybe Muhk steps into a top 4 role on D this year. But our defense is not good. We only have 2 RHD We have Ferraro/Emberson Walman/Rutta Thrun/.......Vlasic playing his off side Hoping Muhk graduated and bumps Thrun (who was bad last year) And our goalies are the jersey cast-off duo, Blackwood and Vanecek Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toffoli pretty much stated he just wanted a few years stability and not to be moved and traded around uprooting every single year. His wife works in LA. I'm sure he believes in year 3 and 4 of his contract they will be competing, but I'm sure he has no illusions of them being a competing team his first year. He will be a mentor and help them from being caved in every night like last year, but he understands there will be growing pains. The Sharks just promoted a developmental coach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Math Posted July 22 Share Posted July 22 The rebuilding teams are not there yet, L.A. counting on Kuemper and without Arvdisoon made a big step back, I'm curious to see how will Vegas do after losing their last misfits. 1. Edmonton 2. Vancouver 3. Vegas 4. Seattle 5. Los Angeles 6. Calgary 7. Anaheim 8. San José Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
