To me, what makes this so compelling is that literally, any team in the division outside of Ottawa could realistically win the division, and any of them including Ottawa could make the playoffs. Calgary has fixed possibly their biggest weakness (goaltending); Edmonton still has McDrai; Montreal is significantly deeper; Ottawa is young, talented and unpredictable; Toronto improved their biggest weakness (defense) and still has all that forward talent; Vancouver has some young stars and Horvat leading the way; and Winnipeg has probably the best goalie in the division.
You just highlight their positives. There are negatives to each of them.
Ottawa is too inexperienced and lacks any real gamebreaker currently.
Calgary's forwards are past overrated at this point - they're exposed.
Winnipeg has a goalie, but not much else with an aging forward core.
Edmonton has absolutely no D.
Toronto doesn't gel much, they lack depth throughout the lineup, and they just added Brodie.
Montreal lacks a gamebreaking forward.
Vancouver, to me, has the clear best shot. They have a solid defense and Hughes back there, a forward star, some other forwards, they added Schmidt, and they gave Vegas a good run for its money.
