While a number of teams did become worse next year, it doesn't look like the Pacific is one of them. Do you think the Pacific Division got harder to move up the standings or easier?
Anaheim
Subtract: Beleskey, Beauchamin, Fleischmann, Etem
Add: Horcoff, Stewart, Bieksa, Hagelin
I’d say better mostly on internal growth of Lindholm and Vatanen
Vancouver
Subtract: Bieksa, Kassian, Lack, Matthias
Add: Prust, Baertschi
I think worse for sure. Lack carried a heavy load for them and they gave Bieksa away.
Calgary
Subtract: Baertchi
Add: Hamilton, Frolik, healthy Giordano & Smid
I think they are a better team but at best can hope for similar results in the regular season due to out performance last year.
Los Angelas
Subtract: Richards, Williams, Stoll, Regher
Add: Lucic
I think they are better if they get Voynov back and canceling Richards contract sticks
San Jose
Subtract: Niemi, Hannan
Add: Jones, Martin, Ward
I think they are better so long as Jones preforms
Edmonton
Subtract: Roy, Nikitin (hopefully), Aulie, Marincin, Fraser
Add: McDavid, Sekera, Talbot, Reinhart, Gryba, Letesu, Korpikoski
To paraphrase MacT we are better, the question is how much
Arizona
Subtract: Crombeen, Moss, Erat, McGinn, Camplbell, Yandle, Korpikoski, Gagner, Arcobello.
Add: Pronger, Scott, Vermette, Gordon, Lindback
Pronger is really on the downside of his career so I’m going to go with wors on the fact that this isn’t even a cap compliant team imo.
