if they play how they finished last year and Horton comes back healthy and stays healthy and provides a scoring threat I do not see why they shouldnt be there.....ill go with 7th for now
I clicked 8th but then remembered I was forgetting a team that will probably finish ahead of them so I guess I should have clicked that they will miss the playoffs. I could see them sneaking in there though. I predict that these will be the playoff teams next year in no particular order:
Boston
Pittsburgh
Ottawa
NYR
NYI
Washington
Tampa Bay
Detroit
I think Columbus, Philly, Toronto. and Montreal could grab a couple of those spots, most likely from TB or the Isles.
