We like to make NHL predictions here at Bleacher Report—whether it's prognosticating the league's award winners, ranking the teams ahead of the season or coming up with some original and bold possibilities.
Some seemed like no-brainers—such as the addition of goaltender Brian Elliott giving the Calgary Flames the top-end goaltender they needed to make a push for the playoffs again after a miserable 2015-16.
That one isn't looking so great right now, with backup Chad Johnson taking firm control of the starting job in the last couple of weeks and Elliott suffering one of the worst starts of his career.
But there are more of those preseason predictions that look laughable with a quarter of the regular season gone—whether it's an individual expected to dominate or a team that's disappointing or impressing.
Keep reading for a look at popular preseason predictions that are already looking foolish in 2016-17. Weigh in with your own in the comments section.
