season predictions

[Djp]

For Bufflo I see them being slightly under a .500 tea. Their final record will be something like 32-38-12-74 pts. I see them as bottom 2.

4 of the bottom 5 are: Bufalo, Crolina, Calgary, ad Edmonton. I think Vancouver will be the other but they easily could have a rebound season. Bottom 5 order:

1. Calgary
3. Buffalo
3. Carolina
4. Edmonton
5. Vancouver

NYI finish at 10, ST Louis at 14


For the playoffs...the locks I see

Atlantic: Boston , Tampa Bay, Montreal
Metro: Pittsburgh, Rangrs, Columbus

WC: Detroit, Ottawa Toronto, Florids,Philadelphia,Washington, Islanders, and New Jrsey all bunched up for much of theseason. WCs to Toronto and Philadelphia

Central: Chicago, Minnesota, ????
Pacific: Aahei, Los Angles, San Jose

WC: Phoenix will get one and the other and the 3rd place spot will g to 2 teams among Colorado, St Louis, Dallas, and Nashville. Dallas and Nashville get the spots.
