2023-24 season preview: Bold fantasy predictions

Pete, Nick and Anna unveil their bold fantasy predictions for the upcoming season. They discuss players that could reach the 100-point plateau like Jack Eichel, Roope Hintz, Tage Thompson and defensemen who can challenge the century mark like Quinn Hughes, Evan Bouchard and others. The crew reacts to news that Lightning goalie Andrei Vasilevskiy will miss at least two months because of injury and discusses the in-house option in Jonas Johansson and outside replacements. Other topics discussed include the chances of Buffalo or Ottawa not only making the playoffs but also competing for the Atlantic Division title, bold claims involving Thatcher Demko and Anthony Beauvillier from the Canucks, the sneaky upside of dark horse rookies like Zach Benson of the Sabres, Yaroslav Askarov of the Predators and Matt Coronado of the Flames and other hot takes involving Jeremy Swayman, Bowen Byram and the Adam Fantilli-Patrik Laine duo.
