It helps that so far this division is the weaker one. I somewhat expected that this year and I don't necessarily buy into the Flyers and Devils just yet either who are in 2 of the top 3 spots.
I'm assuming the top three in the division are CBJ, Pitt, Caps.
After that we fight for one (or two) of the WC slots with Canes, Devs, F'ers, Rags.
Canes are a comer but not ready yet.
Devs will have to do without Schneider for a while and they will come back to earth.
F'ers (read that anyway you want to) are a mirage and will battle but wilt in Feb-March.
Rags are a mess. Their defense is brutal and their only chance is an ageing, overworked Henrik.
Isles have a 50-50 chance if the goaltending holds up, we find a PP, and Tavares plays like Tavares.
