Took Dallas, but the Leafs and Jets were also on my mind.
I think that people are sleeping on the Stars.

It's between Washington, Toronto and Pittsburgh for me. All three have been strong regular season teams, but all three have disappointed the past handful of seasons in the playoffs.
So I went with Washington because I think they'll have the better regular season record among the three since all three have a lot to prove come playoff time.

Went with Washington over Pittsburgh, Edmonton, or Toronto. I'd be fine with any of them. Maybe add Winnipeg to that group.
That was my thinking as well. Ended up going Pittsburgh because I think they probably have the highest ceiling though.

Malkin missing the first part of the season makes me cautious about the Pens. If he was fully healthy (or whatever constitutes healthy for Malkin at this point), I probably would have picked them. But the Pens 1-2 punch for probably the first month or so of the season will be Crosby/Carter, and as awesome as Carter was down the stretch and in the playoffs, I'm not anticipating him playing at a 40 goal pace.
Oh right, I totally forgot about Malkin. I was actually going to add that despite their ceiling they'll almost certainly have injuries like always. I need to get back up on my injury reports before fantasy.

They're off to a much worst start but things could change. But the Caps were (and still are?) a great team/contender for over a decade... With their current contractual situation and depth, will they be able to have such a long window?
Reilly UFA in 1 year
Matthews, Nylander, Brodie, Muzzin UFAs in 3 years
Tavares, Marner UFAs in 4 years
Note : crazy that the Caps never made it past the 2nd round before their Cup win
Well on paper the two best looking rosters are Toronto and Washington. But are we supposed to factor in how the leafs are a bunch of choke artists and cursed to lose in game 7 of the first round every year? If we are supposed to consider that then I’ll go with Washington.
