Your top 4 contenders?

Tampa, Pittsburgh, Nashville, Anaheim. Anaheim is built for the playoffs and are incredibly strong down the middle with Getzlaf, Kesler, Henrique and Vermette.

 

[TimeZone]

Yes because the Trade Deadline is historically such a great indicator of playoff success

Tampa Bay improved quite a bit today, and were already ahead of us. This isn't rocket science.

East = Pittsburgh & Tampa Bay
West = Nashville & Anaheim

 

[Lemontree]

Pittsburgh and Tampa in the East.
Nashville and Winnipeg in the West.

I really think this is the year WSH makes it to the conference finals.

Healthy Anaheim will give anyone trouble.

 

[Nithoniniel]

As I see it,

Tampa, Pens and Nashville look really strong.
Boston, Jets, Leafs and a couple more is in a second tier.
