If you had to guess right now, from which division will the Stanley Cup winner be from?

[Rhaegar Targaryen]

East

 

[Castle8130]

Central or West

 

[Spirit of 67]

North.

Since I'm just guessing.

 

[Michael HOMERUNing]

Hopefully north

 

[Pyrophorus]

Why not the North?
You can't have it both ways: Easy division with easy teams, while
the other divisions will have to bludgeon other great teams in their
division.

North.

Right. Educated guessing based on what we know now.

Everyone is guessing.

With no crossover it's really hard to gauge how the different divisions are doing, imo.

 

[Lt Dan]

East or West

West. It's VGK. Avs are a good pick as well. Maybe the Blues or the Wild can make a cinderella run.

 

[Poppy Whoa Sonnet]

Central or West.

TB and COL are the two best teams,
then teams 2-3 are nasty in both division as well.

West. It's VGK. Avs are a good pick as well. Maybe the Blues or the Wild can make a cinderella run.

Because eventually teams from the north will have to go through a real team.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

Tampa plays in the central.

 

[Ctrain2k]

I’d say central, Tampa and Carolina are probably the 2 best teams in the league rn.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

Tampa is the #1 favorite in my opinion. I can also see Carolina going far with how deep that team is, especially if their goalie (whoever that might be) can get hot. I don't have too much faith in Florida to go far. I think they're an early round 1 or 2 exit, but to completely write them off would be silly.

Whoever gets 4th place is likely to get slaughtered although crazier things have happened. I just don't see a team in the midst of a rebuild like Chicago or a team with John Hynes as head coach will do much especially against any of the above 3. If Dallas were to go on a hot streak, they could be the one team below the top 3 that could make some noise.

I went on a tangent there, but I like talking hockey. I think the cup winner comes from the Central lol.

 

[AKL]

Given how hard it is to repeat, I don't think Tampa does it. That leaves either the East or West.

The central is horrible.

 

[bukwas]

Voted Tampa. Next vote would be Vegas.

 

[jetsforever]

East
(hopefully North)

Eh, Central is arguably worse than the North

 

[Freudian]

1. Central
2. West
3. North/East

 

[Love]

East. Strong teams who haven’t travelled at all. Should be very well rested relative to the rest of the NHL.

 

[SotasicA]

They actually have a very good team. So I'll bookmark this comment for when they win the Cup.

Also, by definition, you'd have to be an underdog to be on a cinderella run.
