Got to go with Tampa but Boston/Toronto should be in the running as well
The other teams don't look to be doing much

Ya but I have to include them because if not I will get things like "why isn't Ottawa or Buffalo included?"
Truth be told I think they only teams with a real shot are Toronto or Tampa
I don't think so, the Leafs added Tavares and Boston lost both Rick and Riely Nash I think Toronto has passed them, I actually think Florida has passed them too, Hoffman is a huge addition for them.

I mean I think not having Boston in the mix is wrong but I'd be hard pressed to say they'll be better. It took them a third period game 7 come back to beat us this year, and we just signed a franchise center for free.
Alright I expected Tampa to be winning this poll but Ottawa has 2 votes and Florida has none, how?

Because the Panthers don't have a shot and the two votes for Ottawa are clear jokes.

Tampa
not only were they clearly better than the Leafs last year but I actually think that even without Karlsson they improved more on paper than the Leafs did too
sure the Leafs added Tavares but they also lost JVR and Bozak,still a net positive all in all but those are noteworthy losses
meanwhile Tampa will have full seasons of McDonagh and Miller next year and only really lost Namestnikov who they traded for those guys
paper isn't everything and any of Tampa/Boston/Toronto could realistically win the division but the Lightning have what looks to be a very decisive edge

No reason to not pick Tampa still. They disposed of Boston easily who in turn was in a dogfight against Toronto. And Tampa is still a young team themselves with guys like Point and Sergachev who will only get better.

Tampa's still the best on paper, and if they get Karlsson they're easily the best team in the entire league on paper.
Tampa, Toronto, Boston and Florida all make the PO's IMO.

Alright we’ll see. I don’t think counting yourself ahead of a team before beating them is very smart though.
Tams are routinely counted ahead of teams they haven't themselves recently eliminated in the PO's.

I'm here, I'm bored
If Karlsson goes to Tampa, I see it being them. If not, I peg Toronto as the Presidents Trophy winner this year. If the title does as it suggests though, and things dont change, Toronto wont get past Tampa in the playoffs, whether or not Karlsson goes there.
We gave up nothing to sign him, which is why the OP said "free" but i'm pretty sure you already knew that
