I believe, I believe it’s going to be so much totally different than it was two, than final 12 months, the 12 months earlier than. They’re not going to begin 0 – 12. I and I believe they’re going to make it troublesome for lots of groups. And so they’re going to take a look at the signings, they usually’re going to come back in they usually’re going to say, ‘boys, that was embarrassing final 12 months. We wish to get to the complete home in San Jose once more’
As a result of when that that group was good, that place was a rockin’ and I’m, it was a tricky place to play in. And I believe they’re, they’re not going to be in final place this 12 months. I believe they’re going to shock some groups, and I believe they’re going to be an terrible lot more durable group to play towards.”

Erika Wachter: “We’re going to complete on this division with the group that you simply anticipate to be one of the best group within the division.”
Boudreau: “Properly, I anticipate Edmonton to be one of the best group. They’re not going to begin out 2-9-1. Have a look at Vancouver, had an incredible 12 months. And I imply, they, they went out they usually moved six free brokers for six free brokers.
However if you happen to take a look at this group, they usually begin out even 5-5 initially of the 12 months, they’re going to win the division. And so they’ve simply obtained, they obtained the 2 greatest gamers within the, on the earth, in all probability in (Connor) McDavid and (Leon) Draisaitl, or a minimum of two of the highest 5.
And I imply, when you have got that, if Hyman can repeat anyplace near his 56 purpose season, and also you throw in Skinner with 40, Arvindson with 25. Boy, I can’t see a group beating them, particularly figuring out how they began out final 12 months.

And , an fascinating story is, and I stated it final night time was, a pal of mine has had a son enjoying summer season hockey, they usually have been enjoying in a summer season league, and who have been they enjoying towards that night time? Was Draisaitl and McDavid.
And so, I imply, I’m sitting there going, what are they doing on the ice in July, enjoying summer season hockey. These guys are simply constructed to play hockey, they usually wish to do it on a regular basis. So I can’t see Edmonton beginning out the way in which they did, however I can see them ending off the way in which they did.
