Just a quick write up taking a look at some of the more dynamic duos or trios in management thus far. This is only my personal opinion and a couple other people that I discussed it with so no need for anyone that isn't mentioned to get butthurt. <3 In no specific order -EAST 1) New York Rangers @Im4thLineWorthy @Gilleh I mean what is there to say really? 4th has been using the force for the last two seasons in the NHL. A cup win in 29 and even though a disappointing first round playoff loss to those Sabres in Season 30 its still easy to argue last years Rangers were one of the hottest teams going into the playoffs. Everyone knows how good Gilleh is so it'll be interesting to see what type of a roster they are able to put up with some very good players already on their roster at forward, defense, and goalie. The only question left is what 4th paying Gilleh with? 2) Philadelphia Flyers @DeeSa Ali @MarcoGoes5H0LE Yes, the man you love to hate and hate to love. Love him or hate him, Carch knows how to put up a playoff contending team consistently. Adding a premier center as a GM with Marco is a smart move, considering what a stupid pricey contract he went for last year. Flyers also have some key winning pieces such as @kcut , @Dxwny , and @BDBeastx19 . I easily predict them to finish near the top of the Eastern Conference. Can Carch silence any of the troves of haters? With how bad he is at Fort, Chel is his only f*cking hope. 3) Tampa Bay Lightning @AzDvo @AMalcs @Stewkos New names, but undoubtedly bringing the same strong game. They had proven themselves with their successful seasons managing the Devils that they know how to win, and I predict they will have continue what they are known for and build a strong contender like they have done in seasons past. Hoping TKO can bring some of that cup magic to Tampa. Them Devils went down to Tampa 4) Pittsburgh Penguins @brandovedo @SamDelisle9 @stev Another long time owner that has proven he can win and consistently make the playoffs. Starting off with two very strong Centers as part of your management can't hurt the cause as well, both coming off of very good seasons. I am interested to see what this roster looks like after bidding though I predict a top five result. Will the Penguins continue to fly? 5) Detroit Red Wings @cj142 @Jemima For some odd reason its easy to overlook the Wings the last few seasons. They aren't overly flashy, however they have earned a playoff spot consistently (Going back to when they donned the Avs logo) With the addition of Jemima on the management team things are really only looking up considering their success with bidding and trade season. I absolutely predict a playoff spot with these Wings. Shall we stock up on Octopus? Honorable Mentions- Columbus Blue Jackets @Colonel20 @React 10 Carolina Hurricanes @Foote @Tendy Feel free to show some love, hate, or comment. LG is Love, LG is Life.
I'm in no way indicating that you aren't worth your contract last season. I was making a point that Carch is saving a lot of money not having to win you in bidding.
My research team did not alert me of this. Heads are gonna roll. I will more than likely do another prediction after the draft/bidding is over .
