25 bold NHL predictions for 2026-27: The Hot Take O-Meter
from Daily Faceoff (Frank Seravalli),
The breathlessly anticipated 2026-27 NHL season is here after an offseason reshuffling that included some blockbuster trades, some blockbuster trade requests and some record-breaking contracts. How will the campaign play out?
It’s time to make another round of bold predictions – but with a twist this time. In the past, we’ve simply rolled them out as a randomized list and, if we’re being honest, not all predictions were created equal. It was bold last season when I (successfully) predicted a Quinn Hughes trade ; it wasn’t exactly a home-run swing when I called the Carolina Hurricanes to defeat the Vegas Golden Knights in the Stanley Cup Final, as much fun as it was to ace that call.
