It’s the morning of the 2020-21 NHL season premier, which could - if it all doesn’t get shut down after four days - be one of the greatest seasons in the history of the league. A shorter schedule, vitriol-inspiring new divisions, and the massive uncertainty surrounding almost every team should make things exciting from start to finish. A 56 game season is more prone to randomness and unpredictability than ever: the last time a shortened season took place, we got both a Norris and a Vezina winner who had never earned a single vote before, a 37 year old won the scoring title, and the President’s Trophy winner had the 4th highest point percentage in league history. This season could be weird as hell, in a beautiful way. But alas, I am a lowly stats man and I must try to predict things anyway, even if I know that the predictions will make me look stupid in a few months.
