Bleacher Report's Bold NHL Predictions Are NUTS…

[@GravitehHockey]

BR had some wild takes before the season began! What are YOUR thoughts on these 5 bold predictions? What do YOU agree & disagree with? And what's YOUR BOLDEST prediction for 2025? #GravGang

[@aronbrown9411]

Who do I keep in a 29 round 14 team league? Fleury or Lankanin?

[@yossarian1385]

Luchanko is better than you think. Mgmnt, coaches, players, fans blown away by this camp. Former Ducks GM Bob Murray is a senior adv to Briere. He played a role in the Drysdale move. If he advocates for Zegras, I'd think it could happen. Question is how coachable is Zegras? Will he put in the effort to be a 200' C? Even if his D at the pivot is lacking, the could be a huge skill upgrade at LW. Great vid. Thanks!

[@Yokes27]

Flyers have draft capital to make a big trade. I know 2 of them will likely be late 20s but the Flyers do have 3 1st rounders along with #34 and 35 and around 45 as well.

[@theamaeve8175]

I'd prefer they keep the draft capital tbh. They aren't a contender yet and will need waves of youth movement to get there

[@Yokes27]

@@theamaeve8175I'm not eager to trade them either BUT GMDB is in a great spot to do so. I think wait til late November/early December to start seeing teams who are desperate to either save their once promising season or offload talent that doesn't fit said teams time-line. Being how, in theory, we aren't under immediate pressure to make the playoffs we can kind of wait a little for a team(s) to be in need and for the best possible offer.

[@spencerwixom6214]

Utah added 346 career playoff games and 6 Stanley cup wins this offseason. Only had 119 and 0 cups before those additions. Insane.

[@DBSG1976]

My bold prediction, Shane Wright will be third in scoring for the Kraken behind McCann and Beniers.

[@SpeedMcKraken-nh7qx]

I agree

[@busorenkin55]

My bold prediction is he’ll be first

[@darrenpinard1658]

I think he’s going to have a great year, I wanted to put Calder money on him before I realized he wasn’t eligible.

[@rickyaz8640]

You spelled First wrong

[@winkletown8828]

I still can't believe that communists have a hockey team. I'm surprised their logo isn't a hammer

[@eliaminator2313]

The biggest concern for the Red Wings is something people always seem to fail to mention the fact that they had a league high by far goals scored above expected which masked many of their flaws and wont be replicated. Detroit is the only team in NHL history yo be top 3 in shooting percentage and miss the playoffs

[@Dux4cup2028]

Zegras trade rumors only come from outside the ducks camp. Ducks management, coaches, and teammates all have nothing but glowing things to say about him. He’s gonna be a staple here he just has a lot to clean up before getting a big long term contract

[@damianspeyerer5895]

Torts isnt going to be the head coach forever.

[@OllieMitchells]

Video will surface of Lou Lamoriello at a Diddy party

[@alraimondini7823]

😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@ajg7628]

As a Devils fan who still loves Lou that is hilarious! And we all thought grandpa was the most by the book guy in the world 😂

[@JoelNads72]

my bold take, Laine will be back in early January and he will still get 25 goals.

[@neilsunstrum933]

🤣🤣🤣

[@FirewagonHockey]

This coming season, the Ottawa Senators will finish last in the Atlantic Division with a record of 1-72-9 and then fire both team president of hockey operations and GM Steve Staios and head coach Travis Green at season’s end. On April 14, 2025, Michael Andlauer and Anna and Olivia Melnyk will sell the Senators to a Hartford-based group headed by hedge fund managers Ray Dalio and Todd Boehly for $1.75 billion, including a relocation fee of $195 million to relocate the Senators to Hartford. On April 17, 2025, the NHL Board of Governors will approve both the sale and relocation of the Senators to Hartford in a 30-2 vote, so after calling Ottawa home for 33 years, the Senators will relocate to Hartford to become the Hartford Whalers and play at the XL Center in the 2025-26 NHL season.

[@Wheelofthyme1010]

Who loses to them😂 I might be even more embarrassing to lose to them than be them.

[@TheOtherLeafFan]

My bro wrote a whole paragraph😂😂💀

[@neilsunstrum933]

[@frankpaparo4839]

The craziest thing I heard here in this statement was them moving to Hartford. NHL is not making that mistake twice.🤣

[@johanjotun1647]

You'd think People would be done sayin "Patrick Kane can't______________" fill in the blank

[@candr0idcrypto383]

P. Kane is awesome and now theres a Tarasenko 🎉🎉🎉

[@Liv4epicness11]

My bold prediction: Bruins lack of Center depth and goalie situation will finally catch up to them and they miss the playoffs due to a stacked Atlantic Division.

[@leviklynstra8975]

Wild take: Boston misses playoffs after trading Swayman and gets replaced by Ottawa

[@ballsincement]

might be the biggest relationship flop in the nhl since roy in montreal if it happens

[@ajg7628]

Oof. Would love to see it but that Ottawa defense needs some work

[@ballsincement]

@@ajg7628 lil late on this comment

[@ajg7628]

@@ballsincement what are you talking about I’m referring to Ottawa making the playoffs and as much as I’d like them to it prolly won’t happen because their D is not that good

[@Dux4cup2028]

What would trading zegras even do for Anaheim? Nobody is going to give up some better than z that fits the ducks window in a trade. Verbeek has said he’s ready to push forward so seeking him for picks is pretty stupid

[@BetterMusic09]

I think it’s because the ducks have too many centers to give him a good spot on the lineup and he’s gonna want to get paid so the thought process is they don’t want to pay someone who could end being third liner behind Carlson and Gauthier

[@GhostyHugs]

I’m glad u see the growth in torts in how he is handling the skill in the league, the whole Michigan thing seems to be a joke within the room in Philly, loving the vibe around this team

[@RuthKurtz]

Columbus is not trading their most popular player now. A rebuilding team has to protect its prospects. If they were to even think it, I think it would be a price like Pittsburgh paid for Reaves. Pittsburgh dealt a 1st and Sundqvist.

[@enasty1257]

all of the philly media groups were convinced zegras was a lock on coming to philly. we are looking for young talent, we need a center who can if need be play wing, because coots health is a big what if and will frost take that next step? also we traded crybaby cutter for his best friend in drysdale. we also need talent to build with michkov. all the pieces seemed to fit but a deal was never made. theres also questions with that like can he play defense in a 200 ft game. will he survive torts. because michkov was already doing Michigan's in practice and he looked like he was gonna blow a gasket. it will certainly make the team interesting.

[@Dannyuh7]

Why would anaheim trade Zegras to philly? What could they possibly offer? That cry baby is looking good af already😂.

[@nreedbuffalo]

Mine is that the sharks will manage to get swayman with a ridiculous 11m contract and him and askarov will carry them to a wild card spot

[@Wutangforever31]

45 goal for caufield ? LOLLL

[@busorenkin55]

Tortorella would kill Zegras

[@AlainPelletier-j6u]

Sure

[@aronbrown9411]

Who do I keep in a 29 round 14 team league? Fleury or Lankanin?

[@HurricaneTBag]

Torts would murder Zegras.

[@toddlauretteHabsforlife]

No way Caufield hits 45, if he can score 30 again, im happy.

[@candr0idcrypto383]

Year 5 baby. Look out.

[@animepopuproar281]

i think laine is gonna get mtl to the playoff for real...

[@axe2grind244]

Least bold prediction in all of sports…..Sabres will be bad again.

[@marquisduhsade]

11:15 nah bro is zesty

[@Kzyrik]

Buddy, once again, you don't seem to understand the meaning of a BOLD take. The Habs example, why would you spend 5 minutes explaining why it's not gonna happen (habs making the playoffs). Bud, ITS THE POINT OF A BOLD TAKE, SOMETHING THAT NO ONE IS GONNA SEE COMING. Instead, you should rate the boldness of the prediction. Because if it does happen, then you look foolish. Gotta step it up here

[@Kuffdad]

Bold take: If the Hawks stay healthy, Bedard scores 100+ points

[@TracyJean1972]

I wouldn’t bet against Bedard for that. But can the Hawks remain healthy?

[@Kuffdad]

@@TracyJean1972 that’s why it’s bold Tracy…

[@winkletown8828]

Zegras is going to pop off this season. Just wait and see. He's got the offensive skillset and ability to terrorize defenses and tenders. He just needs to get his brain to comprehend it. Side note: I'd love to see him on the Flyers, Redwings, Penguins or SLC. Really anywhere that isn't a communist cess pool destined for failure.

[@TheJimmyStDenisShow]

detroit is going to the playoffs

[@Veopoz]

Only be out 2-3 months 😅

[@Plaskman]

Two of Islanders, Rangers and the Bruins will miss the playoffs!

[@rrada13]

As a devils fan, can you PLEASE stop saying Nemec like NUH-METZ? While you’re closer than most people, it’s pronounced NEH-MITZ. Not the end of the world but it’s been driving me insane lol
