Speculation: Final 15/16 standings, and division, wild card, conference, and Cup winners

[internetdotcom]

Hey everyone,

Just killing time until the season starts (can't wait!), and wondering how you all predict the division standings will finish for all divisions, who you think will win the wild cards, who will go to the Cup final, and who will win the Cup, for both conferences.

Here are my picks :

EASTERN CONFERENCE :

Atlantic :

Tampa Bay
Montreal
Ottawa
Florida (I think they get one wild card)
Detroit (just miss out on the second wild card)
Buffalo
Boston
Toronto

Metropolitan :

Pittsburgh
NY Rangers
NY Islanders
Columbus (wild card)
Washington
Philadelphia
Carolina
New Jersey

WESTERN CONFERENCE :

Central :

Nashville
Chicago
St. Louis
Minnesota (wild card)
Dallas (wild card)
Colorado
Winnipeg

Pacific :

Anaheim
Calgary
Los Angeles
San Jose
Edmonton
Vancouver
Arizona

I also think the Coyotes win the top pick in the lottery, NJ picks second, and Vancouver 3rd. Feel free to predict this too if you want.

I thinks pittsburg has had depth issues for years now and kessel will hurt the top line.

The central is impossible to predict lol.

Los angeles needed a win against edmonton in their last game of the year and couldn't beat them... Edmonton has been getting better every year and I think sekara is the final piece.

Who do you like as the Cup finalists and winner, and who to have the first 3 draft picks?
