So the top three teams in each division are in with two wild cards? Right now the two wild cards would be the Islanders and Penguins. Division winners draw the wild cards? Uggh.
I know it’s way to early for this discussion, but it’s clear that the Atlantic is the weaker division. The Met division is likely to pull both wild cards. I’d be fine drawing NJ in round one, but Columbus, Pitt, NYI and Washington are all really dangerous and feel more like a 2nd round draw for a top seed.
If this is really the format, the 2 seed in the Atlantic will draw the most favorable matchup. It’s almost like we’d be better off with Toronto winning the division.
Thoughts?
