Only team I'm confident enough to risk money on is Arizona.
I think both LA and Vancouver have potential to implode(nucks being MUCH more likely) but I'm not going to assume that they will.
Putting us ahead of Anaheim or SJ(why do people think these guys are bad?) is a gamble of hilariously long odds.
Not sure what Calgary will end up being but probably better than us.
I think Anaheim is pretty close to a lock for winning the division. They haven't lost anybody significant, and have plenty of cap space available still to make further upgrades.
LA will bounce back next year IMO.
Calgary will likely finish ahead of us, they've made too many improvements to regress backwards.
San Jose has a solid group of D, but their goal tending is questionable, and Thornton/Marleau will continue to regress with aging.
Vancouver is a strong candidate to regress - their core is aging, and they have question marks in goal and on D.
For Arizona, unless Tippet has some magic up his sleeve, I can't see them finishing out of the bottom.
