Bold Predictions for each NHL team

Anaheim Ducks : Pat Verbeek is such a tough salary negotiator that he spends the entire season trying to fit his 23-man roster under the cap.

Edmonton Oilers : After being suspended for projecting individual players' TikToks on the hot tub big screen, Mike Babcock is replaced as head coach by Mark Messier, who promptly awards himself with the Mark Messier Leadership Award.

Los Angeles Kings : Pete Laviolette is fired by his seventh franchise, replaced by Darryl Sutter who guides them to a Stanley Cup.
