kipwinger 8,613 Report post Posted October 6, 2023 As is tradition, lets see some BOLD predictions for the season. It's no fun if they're predictions everyone already thinks will happen so you're encouraged to go out on a limb a bit here. I'll start (and I'm keeping it to 3): (I've made this prediction elsewhere) Given that they both play over 50 games, Edvinsson will outscore Seider at even strength and his defensive metrics will grade out more highly than Seider's (as measured by Dom Luczyszyn's player cards at The Athletic). I'm using this measurement because it doesn't require I buy a new subscription and because there's no obvious way it's biased toward one or the other of Edvinsson or Seider. Michael Rasmussen will score 20 goals and 50+ points and people will begin talking about him as one of the best young power forwards in the league. The Wings go .500 (or better) against Tampa, Toronto, and Boston. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

town123 200 Report post Posted October 6, 2023 BearGrin has more points on the 3rd line than Raymo on the 1st. GhostBear has the most points for a D on the team. Sodapop puts on an extra 25 lbs and actually skates faster and wins the Conn Smythe. Wings playoff bound, yet SY trades GhostBear, Copp and Perron for great returns.

LeftWinger 5,035 Report post Posted October 7, 2023 (edited) Danielson stays with Detroit all season. Nets 70 points. Veleno and Fabbri are traded Larkin hits 100 points DeCat hits career high goals and points. Ghost wins Norris Lafreniere is a Red Wing by the TDL. Copp, Chiarot, Comphor, Holl all have career points years. Yzerman is forgiven for the contracts he handed them. Yzerman wins GM of the Year.
