Just wondering what everyone else has for expectations next season?
A. Do owners screw the whole thing up by trying to change up the CBA?
B. Assuming the season starts early January and the NHL realigns for the season with the Wild in the west, do the Wild make the playoffs?
C. Is Guerin selling at the Trade deadline?
D. Does Rossi make the team?
E. Feel free to discuss any other opinions you may have on the upcoming season.

The season will happen. Players have bills to pay and they need to make money.
If there is a Play-in again the Wild will make that. I can't predict anyone being in the Playoffs right now.
I think Guerin trims some fat at the TDL, trades away one or two of Pateryn, MarJo, Bjugstad, or Bonino. He doesn't firesale every rental he can.
Rossi might (I'm doubtful he'll even get that) get a cup of coffee, but shows he's nowhere near NHL ready.

Predictions:
Dumba rebounds
Rask shows he is an everyday bottom-6er.
JEE finds his shot.
Kaprizov has growing pains.
Greenway keeps progressing but still too slowly for fans.
Boldy finishes his college games and turns pro. He'll be on the NHL roster long enough to burn a slide year of his ELC.
Brodin/Dumba is the top pair by season's end and not because of injuries.
Bjugstad plays well enough that MN re-signs him if he's not traded.
Foligno named the "C".
