Vegas looks good to me. Such a crap shoot. I can’t wait to see what happens. Go Oilers

What? North is leading?

Florida!

 

[The Moose is Loose]

I think the West and the Central are the 2 most likely divisions. I think a strong argument could be made that the top 4 contenders are Vegas, Tampa, Carolina and Colorado. Florida is also a very strong team.

The east seems the least likely to have the eventual winner to me, I just don't know if the Penguins/Bruins/Caps window is still truly open.

Central
Lol @ North

 

[CatchyTune]

I think Tampa repeats so Central

West. Colorado very likely. I would say Vegas is very likely too but fluery has fallen on his face in the post season quite a few times. Not for Vegas as much though.

Also like the central 2nd with Tampa (if healthy) and Carolina.

I tend to agree but still had a hard time leaving them out.

West.


2 of the 3 best teams are in the West. Likely whatever team comes out of Vegas/Colorado will carry a metric ton of momentum through the last 2 rounds.

 

[Team Cozens]

North. Leafs have any easy path and should sweep through. Tampa has a couple of Dog fights against Florida and Carolina. East is a battle with Boston, Pittsburgh, Washington and Islanders. Vegas vs Colorado. Those are going to be battles that will pay heavy prices. This was pretty predictable the moment the North was established.

Best two teams for sure. One is going to take out the other and I believe will pay a price.

 

[Raian]

Central is stacked at the top as is the West

i imagine a team from each makes the finals, if thats possible

carolina vs Vegas is how I see it

 

[bambamcam4ever]

The top 2 teams in the Central being 6th and 8th in the East last year seems to be a reflection of that division's quality.

 

[leafsfan2point0]

A lot of people have completely underrated the North division. It’s been a dog fight all season, even Ottawa is going to surprise a lot of people next year

 

[AhosDatsyukian]

West or Central. Barring upsets, they will both likely have home ice advantage in the final 4 and not be playing each other in that round. And I just think Vegas/Colorado/Tampa/Carolina are the best teams, but as we've seen time and time again anything can happen.

 

[WetcoastOrca]

West and Central have the top four teams imo. I’m picking Tampa again so I’ll go Central.

 

[M2Beezy]

Tampa Carolina or Florida tho maybe the Aves or Las Vegas Golden Knights, tough to say at this point OP

What? North is leading?

Leaf fans..

I think Central's got it.

 

[COHawk]

West. My money is on CO or Vegas

Leaf blowers dreaming once again

 

[AvroArrow]

My heart says North, my brain says West. Colorado/Vegas are 2 of the best teams in the league, I'm feeling Colorado but Vegas is really strong as well. If Tampa was healthy I'd go with them, but Colorado has a slight edge over them because of Kuch/Stamkos.

 

[JMcAuley]

I voted central. Tampa Bay will be pretty hard to beat once Kucherov comes back. The west also looks good though with Colorado and Vegas.
