>PROJECTION: 87 CAROLINA POS C AGE 27 2023-24 STATS 78-36-53-89-36 GP 77 G 37 A 50 SEBASTIAN AHO CAP HIT: $9,750,000 Consistently good for 35-plus goals. That alone is great, but he’ll also pop 50-plus assists. >PROJECTION: 37 CHICAGO POS C AGE 30 2023-24 STATS 28-2-7-9-7 GP 70 G 15 A 22 ANDREAS ATHANASIOU CAP HIT: $4,250,000 Even if he stays healthy, which is far from guaranteed, his upside just isn’t really worth it. >PROJECTION: 86 FLORIDA POS C AGE 29 2023-24 STATS 73-23-57-80-24 GP 78 G 25 A 61 His best asset is playmaking – ask Sam Reinhart (57 goals). That hurts his own goal total. >PROJECTION: 80 CHICAGO POS C AGE 19 2023-24 STATS 68-22-39-61-28 GP 80 G 35 A 45 CONNOR BEDARD CAP HIT: $950,000 It’s a good thing he doesn’t need much help, because there isn’t much help in Chicago. >PROJECTION: 39 FLORIDA POS C AGE 28 2023-24 STATS 69-20-21-41-100 GP 72 G 18 A 21 SAM BENNETT CAP HIT: $4,425,000 Far greater value to his team than…

FLORIDA PANTHERS
BY COLBY GUY PREDICTION | 1ST IN ATLANTIC THE PANTHERS REACHED THE top of the mountain in 2024. Now, they’ll attempt to defend their title. That will be a tough task for a core who has played more than 200 games over the past two seasons – losing in the 2023 Cup final to Vegas before beating Edmonton last season – and even more so after a UFA exodus that included Brandon Montour, Oliver Ekman-Larsson and Vladimir Tarasenko. But Florida has proven that it can win even in the most difficult of circumstances. The Panthers began 2023-24 without star blueliners Aaron Ekblad and Montour, both of whom had sustained injuries during the 2023 playoffs. Nevertheless, Florida was one of the NHL’s best defensive teams without the pair, and then ran away with the…
WASHINGTON CAPITALS
BY BEN RABY PREDICTION | 5TH IN METRO THE CAPITALS RETURNED TO the post-season after a one-year absence, though it was hardly conventional. Leaning heavily on netminder Charlie Lindgren, Washington overcame a seven-point deficit in early March and made the playoffs on the penultimate night of the regular season. Washington’s minus-37 goal differential was the worst by a playoff team since 1991. A feel-good story for a resilient bunch? Sure. Sustainable? Unlikely. That’s why management went to work over the summer. In a span of 12 days, the Caps overhauled about one-third of the roster. Through trades and free agency, they added forwards Pierre-Luc Dubois, Andrew Mangiapane, Brandon Duhaime and Taylor Raddysh, blueliners Jakob Chychrun and Matt Roy and goalie Logan Thompson. The acquisitions are all in their 20s, which is a welcome…
