A new NHL season is finally here, and it's time to bust out the crystal ball -- or spreadsheets -- and dig into what we should expect from each player and team in 2016-17.

That includes projecting the standings points for each team, along with goals, assists and goals versus thresholds (find more info on GVT here) for each player on the roster -- for every club.

The Pacific Division has two types of teams: Those on the rise, and those trying to hang on to one last run at the Stanley Cup. The Kings, Sharks and Ducks have been top dogs for most of the past decade, but the addition of Connor McDavid into the Oilers' lineup may help them rise to prominence. The Coyotes and Flames have been plugging away at rebuilds that may finally come to fruition this season. And the Canucks are another team that will play NHL hockey this season.
