I wish you’d put an option for > 132. I would have taken it.
Instead I was forced to go with something rational.
you mean like less than or equal to 59 points? ;)
I can’t imagine what sort of injuries would need to happen for the Oilers to get those sort of point totals.
In theory, there is little difference between practice and theory, but in practice there is!
This seems linked to the Leafs poll for me
I can’t vote on this one and the responses look identical to the poll for the Leafs.
same here.
The Leafs may not be good, but hell, at least they have a front office that’s awake. The Oil are heading for another lottery pick.

I don’t know when it will happen, but I expect the Oilers to eventually shoot up the standings. They remind me a lot of the Tampa Bay Rays from about 5-6 years ago.
Eberle, Hall, Rajala, Pajaarvi-Svenson … with 2 or 3 of those guys living up to their potential, that’s a really great group. That said, I expect them to get another top 2 or 3 pick this year to add to their group of prospects.
Yes, but then they’ll bury them under terrible veteran contracts, in addition to paying all of those players market value, instead of getting good use out of their ELC. Their ceiling under current management is where the Maple Leafs were before the lockout – trying to sell themselves as contenders, but realistically being a 5-10 team in their conference.

A part of me wants to select something less than 70 points due to the presence of J-F Jacques on their team. But I think they’ll do as well as the Leafs in this coming season.
Devils in my heart! Devils in my mind! Devils in my eyes! Devils until I die!

With the utter lack of defense that i see on this team, and goaltending, and young forwards that don’t play defense, i’m predicting a fairly unmitigated disaster. They’ll probably do as well as TB did last year under similiar circumstances, at best.
On the Mike Weber bandwagon.
Everything wrong with the Sabres is Drew Stafford's fault.
I agree with ubiquitous
They have a great offensive upside but wow – that teams is going to be completely unable to keep the puck out of their own net.

80-84
I’m an optimist.
Unless, of course, each of the Big Three blow expectations out of the water and average 60 pts apiece. PLAYOFFS BABY!!!!11
