NHL 2025-26 Shockers: Game-Changing Trades and Unexpected Stars Set to Rewrite the Season
Montreal Canadiens
Juraj Slafkovský will score 30 goals
Slafkovský is focused and better prepared for the season than he has ever been. All the tools are there, he just needs to apply them properly. And in his fourth NHL season, he will do just that. — Arpon Basu
Nashville Predators
Andrew Brunette will still be the team’s coach at the end of the season
Brunette is the obvious coach on the hot seat as the season begins — he’s probably elsewhere already if anyone but Barry Trotz is his GM — but the guess here is that the Preds start better and show some fight this season, at least staying relevant and in the hunt for most of it. That, paired with Trotz’s patience, gives Brunette the whole season. And gives Trotz another tough offseason decision. — Joe Rexrode
