In the mix: Pittsburgh, probably at least one of Ottawa and Detroit, wouldn't write off the Islanders.

@smithformeragent - Stirring the pot

If Toronto doesn't get the A1 seed this year it might be awhile.

A2 and A3

My goodness, I can make a case for Boston being A2 or A7.

A8 will belong to



It is a decent bet that Buffalo, Ottawa or Detroit could crash the party.

The Metro? - Carolina, New Jersey, and NY Rangers in the Top 3?.

Canes

I think last year was a one shot deal for the Panthers.
Ottawa is my surprise pick this year.
Hell, who knows? The Habs or Flyers could make it.

In no particular order

Boston
Toronto
Tampa
NYR
NJD
Carolina

Then Pitt, Ottawa, florida and Buffalo I think will be battling for the wild card spot. Whoever is healthier among those teams will get the last two spots

Would be very interesting to only have two teams from the Metro, but hey you never know!

Haha that’s a fair point. I forgot carolina

Carolina, NJ and Toronto are sure bets.

TB and NYR should be fine.

Three spots for NYI, PGH, FLA, BOS, BUF, OTT.

I’d wager on BOS, BUF and PGH.
