Now that Swayman has signed, I feel better about my predictions for the Atlantic. I'll go with: 1. Boston 2. Toronto 3. Florida 4. Tampa Bay 5. Ottawa 6. Buffalo 7. Detroit 8. Montreal I think likely four get into the playoffs. Any of the Top 3 could change order. Tampa as one of the Wild Card spots. Unless, somehow either Washington or the Islanders finish better and it's five that get in from the Metro. Maybe Ottawa/Buffalo/Detroit surprises and we get five in from the Atlantic. Wouldn't be shocked if Montreal doesn't finish in 8th as well as I like what they're building.
Note: Jeremy Swayman signed after this recording -weekend before season starts… Kirby & (Cody) bumping up Bruins on our predictions now
