"They'll probably win the President's Trophy and lose in the first round," a fan said.

"Best roster they’ve had since the 80’s. Definitely looking forward to seeing how the season plays out," another fan said.

"No. Won't get an easy path to the conference finals again. Also not likely to goalie a Dallas or whoever else comes out of the Central and win a game with 10 shots on goal. Used up all the luck this year," a fan said.

"They got a fortunate path to the conference finals, pacific is still the weakest division, central division wild card will be a better team than the 3 place pacific team," one fans said.
