With the 2020 NHL season finally coming to an end, I thought it was time to revist the Cannon staff preseason predictions.
Metro Division:
Washington (4 votes)
Carolina (2 votes)
NY Rangers (1 vote)
This is a good start, with the majority accurately predicting that the Capitals would remain the team to beat in the Metro. Carolina finished fourth and the Rangers finished seventh, but still did well enough to make the qualifying round. Seeds had the best predicted finish for runner-up Philadelphia (third).
The predictions for the Blue Jackets ranged from second place to sixth, with third and fifth getting two votes each.
