NYIFC Projection: 11th in East

I'm not a fan of Patrick Roy, who's career record beyond one year is that of a mediocre head coach no one was chasing after. Lou's been a cap ceiling general manager, and has a lot of very bad contracts on his resume, and not because they were great players, but mediocre players their entire careers. Pageau got his contract because of one twenty four goal run in Ottawa when he was red-hot, he came here, scored one goal in seven games before 2020 covid, and at best when back to be a career thirty point player who today gave us a 32nd ranked penalty kill, along with Cizikas who was a first line LW in last year's playoffs who's no scorer, and who's speed/defense has been in decline. Palmieri had some pitch and putt goals during his last gasp 15 goals in 23 game streak, he's been a bust here before that, and he can't win pucks or backcheck. No, Horvat, and Barzal are not great on defense.
