So much trust in the Sabres on this sub even though they haven’t even proven themselves yet.

The only team that we know for sure won’t make it is the Habs, all the other teams could make it, but I think the Red Wings and the Sens will miss it

Montreal, Detroit and Boston
Only NYR, NJ and CAR make it in the Metro.

Habs, Wings, Sens. I’m torn between Bruins and Sabres but I think Buffalo sneaks in this year.

For the first time in a loooong time I don’t think it’s extremely stupid to suggest we actually make it this year

From the bottom to the top, Red Wings Bruins Habs Sens or Bolts (gonna depend if Vasilevskiy remain healthy)

You’re crazy if you think Boston won’t make the playoffs

Wings, Habs and Panthers. I think only 3 teams from the Metro get in this season.

Who are Bostons top 2 centers right now? Zacha and Coyle? Yeah, I don’t think Pasta can carry that team enough to make it this year.

1 or 2 of those teams in that picture WILL miss the playoffs

Tampa, Toronto, and Florida finish top 3 so the rest are fighting for wild card spots with the metropolitan. Maybe ottawa or Boston squeak in.
Edit:Or Buffalo

Sabres, Red Wings, Canadiens, and Senators.
Neither of the Florida teams will miss out and Toronto is a consistent competitor. As for the Bruins…they barely make it in.

The Habs are the only sure thing to miss. The other 7 all have a plausible argument and path to the playoffs. If I were to guess the standings and points?
1. Toronto – 105-110 points – barring more catastrophic goalie injuries, I think the Leafs win this dogfight but I could see them flipped with the second place team
2. Buffalo – 100-105 points – they would have been on this pace without a November nosedive. Sabres playoff drought ends this year and with UPL and Levi waiting to take the net, the Sabres are going to be scary very soon.
3. Boston – 95-100 points – they were decimated down the middle but they’re too strong on the blueline, in net and too well coached to fall off the face of the earth, even if I have no idea who’s scoring after the first line.
4. Tampa Bay – 90-95 points – they lost a lot of bottom six depth AGAIN but they’ve usually been pretty good at promoting from the farm with minimal falloff and I can’t see Vasy, Stammer and Kucherov not dragging them to at least a wild card.
5. Ottawa – 90-95 points – They’re a team™️. All jokes aside. I think they could be WC2 and I think they’ve been steady goaltending away from pushing for the playoffs for the last two years. A healthy Norris will help immensely.
6. Detroit – 90-95 points – they’re going to make another small climb but whether that’s enough? I’m unconvinced because of how stacked this stupid division is. I unfortunately think deBrincat is going to score like a second line winger rather than the first liner they need him to be.
7. Florida – 85-90 points – they’re a 100 point team but they’re going to be banged up to start the season after a long playoff run and I’m not positive in their ability to dig out of that hole.
8. Montreal 65-70 points – in a normal division I think they’re an 80 point team but not here. They’ll tread water again but they’re being built correctly this time. Their time is in 2 years

With so many injuries from the cinderella run, I wouldn’t be surprised if Florida will have to take a back seat this year or fight to the very end to secure a wildcard spot. I think for sure the Canadiens and Detroit will miss, then the sens and panthers and Buffalo finally makes the playoffs before beating Toronto in round 1 who will be division leader and then losing to Tampa in round 2
