88 points sounds about right, hopefully a few more. Still leaves AZ 7 points short of WC2 and 12 points out Pacific 3rd based on last year's standings.
Pacific should be very interesting this year.....maybe something like:
1. SJ
2-7 (Ana, Ari, Cgy, Edm, LAK, Vgs) - all within 10-12 points of each other.....any of these teams could make the playoffs or finish 6th-7th.
8. Vancouver.
Generally agree here. SJ is clearly the favorite in the division.
Anaheim - too old, so I think they're vulnerable to fall out of a playoff spot
Calgary - I think we're about even but we're better when they're down to their backup (Smith will inevitably get hurt)
Edmonton - they just lost a top 4 D for the season, they're going to suck again
LAK - slow, but I think they'll be OK. Carter for the full season and Kovy is good for 50 points. I think LA is better than us (don't shoot)
VGK - Due for a step back, if only because they can't possibly get any better
Vancouver - Rebuilding. That's pretty much it
