2018 Minnesota Wild Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 9/11/2018

The Wild are in a dangerous place for a team to be - the territory that teams like the Blues, Sharks, Flyers and Blue Jackets know well from plenty of experience. They are a team that is always good enough to be a real playoff threat, and never any fun to play against, but never good enough to do any real damage against the teams that will actually win the Stanley Cup. It's not a fun place to be. Owners don't hate it because it adds playoff revenue - a few games worth, anyway - most years. But it doesn't energize fans. And it can be tough to break out of.

2018 Dallas Stars Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 9/11/2018

The Dallas Stars have a distinction I am not too happy about. Over the course of the last three years no team has come close to costing me as much money as they have. I have been optimistic about them heading into each season, and they have disappointed each time. In 2016 they had a stellar 109-point regular season but fell in the second round to the St. Louis Blues in frustrating fashion. The next year they fell off a cliff and didn't even come close to being competitive. And while they fell just short of the playoffs last year, it still felt like the gap between them and true contenders was vast.

2018 St. Louis Blues Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 9/10/2018

The Blues have surely been a tough team to cheer for in recent years. On paper they are a solid team each year, but they have not been able to fully put it all together and accomplish, well, anything really. But they always win enough to assure they don't get a decent draft position, either. They are a squad that has been locked into the middle of the league, and they have really struggled to break out.

2018 Winnipeg Jets Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 9/7/2018

The Winnipeg Jets are one of those teams perched simultaneously at the best and worst place to be. On one hand, they have everything ahead of them. They made the Western Conference final last year, and on paper they are good enough to be there or further for several years to come. Their window is open, and their potential is massive.

2018 Nashville Predators Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 9/7/2018

The Nashville Predators played in the Stanley Cup final two seasons ago and then shrugged off the Stanley Cup hangover to post their best-ever regular season last year - a league-best 117 points - and a Vezina win for goaltender Pekka Rinne. It seemed like they were unstoppable. But then the playoffs happened, and they were frankly a bit ugly. Rinne was uncharacteristically awful, and the team couldn't help him out. Now we await to see if they can shake off the postseason disappointment and keep on rolling or if they take a step back.

2018 Chicago Blackhawks Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 8/31/2018

The Chicago Blackhawks have been a model organization. They made the playoffs 10 years in a row and won three Stanley Cups over that stretch. But then last year happened. They not only didn't make the postseason, but they didn't threaten to. And it doesn't seem like this season is going to be a whole lot different. The team won't say that they are in a rebuild, but they are making actions that would let you believe they are.

2018 Colorado Avalanche Predictions with Futures Odds and Expert Picks
by Trevor Whenham - 8/31/2018

As they have the tendency to do, the Avalanche surprised last year. They felt like a team deep in an endless rebuild, but they rose up to grab the final playoff spot in the tough West and then played Nashville very tough through six games in the first round. It was more than they could have hoped for. On top of it, they managed an absolute steal of a trade, dealing away Matt Duchene for a haul that included what is very likely to be a lottery pick from Ottawa in the coming NHL Draft.
