During the 2013-14 season, the 30 NHL teams amassed 2,767 points. Boring fact: Because of the NHL's love of three-point games, the maximum number of points that can be earned over a season is 3,690. Assuming no games reach overtime, the minimum is 2,460.

It's comforting to know that as long as you land between those two numbers, your points predictions for every team have a shot at being 100 percent accurate.

That brings us to this slideshow, which predicts each team's points total for the 2014-15 season. Which team is line for the Presidents' Trophy? Will anyone eclipse Boston's league-leading 117 points from a year ago? Will there be more than last season's total of 10 teams to crack 100 points? Will anyone have fewer than 52 points, the league-worst total put up by the Buffalo Sabres last year?

Answering all those questions would prevent you from clicking through this slideshow.

There are no hard and fast playoff predictions in here—check back for those later, although the top 16 teams here are projected to make the playoffs—but here's one person's take on who will and won't be a playoff team in 2015.
