You mean they get all their good players back off Ltir. Right.Vegas. Yes they look off right now, but all it takes is to get to the playoffs and then they have to play hard.
Oh, how I'm hoping of a repeat of last year when the top seed chokes in the first round. That would be great as long as it isn't TB beating them.The West looks like an absolute bloodbath while Florida looks the most likely to get to the conference final in the East, so... them.
The Metro's down cycle has been a few years coming, though I didn't expect it to hit so fast.Oh, how I'm hoping of a repeat of last year when the top seed chokes in the first round. That would be great as long as it isn't TB beating them.
The metropolitan division is abysmal, which is really the only reason the west looks more difficult. Even still the east has 3 teams over 90 points before the west does. The west also has league worst SJ on top of sub-50 point Anaheim and Chicago to exploit. So ehh, not buying the "west is leaps and bounds better" narrative. I think it's pretty even. Even some of the teams mirror each other. EDM is the west's Toronto, LA is the west's Flyers.
