Considering we are still going to be learning Carlyles system that will take effect and we will be off to a slow start, so I'd say first 20 games we will be around the 8-10-2 (11-7-2) mark. Once we get comfortable in the more defensive system we will start to steal close scoring games, and come out with around 15-12-3 (18-9-3).
With Riemer my guess is 23 wins and around 5 OT points
(With Luongo 29 wins and 5 OT points)
I heard also that their would be 7 games per division rivals, if so I can see a healthy handing of loses added on from Boston... a bloody factor which could hurt our seasons record not only from them, but the mental damage they seem to do to us every time we meet.
the better question is what are the number of points needed to make the playoffs. and going on that it takes 92 points in an 82 game season thats 53.8 points so we need 23-25 wins depending on the OT/SL to make the playoffs.
I'll go with a slightly lower points percentage than last year, given that zero problems have been addressed over the offseason, besides a "treating the symptoms, not the cause" in signing McClement. This team is not a markedly better team than last year's edition. Look forward to drafting a top prospect this June.

I think Carlyle is addressing, the biggest problem.
