2024-25 Bold Predictions

Recommended Posts

Are we ready for this thread? 

Too late, ready or not, here it is.

My prediction is Red Wings win 10 more games this season for 20 more points totalling 111. Good for 2nd in the Atlantic behind Florida. Toronto is a close 3rd. Boston and Tampa can't recover from their loses and fall to wild card hopefuls.

I'm recycling two from last season.

1. Edvinsson will outscore Seider at even strength. Last year I stipulated that they'd both have to play 50 games for this to be true and Edvinsson (inexplicably) didn't meet that threshold.

2. Rasmussen will score 20 goals, 30 assists and blossom as a top power forward in the league. I made the same prediction last year but failed to account for the fact that Ras was rehabbing a broken kneecap all summer and not working on this game. This year he's got a full summer and I expect bigger things out of him.

and my third bold prediction...

3. Ondrej Becher is top five on the Griffins in points per game despite starting the season in Toledo.

If he becomes a 50 pt. player, we got him at a deal for $3.2M the 4 years!

1.  We get Rutger McGroarty from the Jets for a package featuring Bear-Grin and a 25 lotto protected 1st, sliding to 26 if necessary and a 2nd in the opposite year.

2.  Holl is our 3rd best defenseman. 

3.  We finish with the same point total but miss the playoffs by a larger margin.

4.  Mazur is a 2nd half standout.

I predict a big change in the D corp before the end of the calendar year.

I bet as soon as Trouba's wife's residency is done, he's a Detroit Red Wing.

 My bold prediction: Nate Danielson makes the team.

I'm going with 3. Danielson, Edvinsson and Johansson.

You’re pretty spot on with these so far. The defense isn’t “much improved” but it has improved slightly. But we have seen major change in the defense corps and we do have four rookies on the team. Well done.

Anybody have “Quenneville to Detroit” as a bold prediction? Lots of smoke On this rumor. 

That's interesting... it's a move that won't salvage this season but might prevent players from regressing or stunting the growth of young guys.

Also we need a coach to tell Rasmussen to play like a man or sit in the press box.

I'd offer Berggren, AJo and a 2nd.  That's the top offer... dude has an injury history.  It's a gamble.

I do this INSTANTLY.  Columbus won't though.  Jiricek is only 20 years old.  All of our defensemen outside of Moritz Seider have ZERO NHL games experience at age 20.  This cat isn't excelling at the NHL level right now, but in 2 years, he will be.  He could use a change of scenery though.  Columbus is the new Phoenix.  Players fizzle out in that organization.  If this guy is available, we should offer a 1st, a 2nd, and Wallinder.  I think we may be able to grab him with that kind of offer.

Our 1st could be 1OA the way we're going... that's a HARD no!
