Voted NJ. Vancouver is close. I think Detroit has a better team on paper, at least the forward group.

Add Carolina

Jersey. Worst D in the league and terrible forward corps

To be fair, their offense ain't that bad anymore (assuming Hischier is NHL ready)

Hall - Henrique - Hischier (tripleH line lol)
Johansson - Zajac - Palmieri
Wood - Zacha - Noesen
Coleman - Boyle - Lappin
+McLeod

However Zajac being out obviously makes it worse, unless McLeod jumps in and impresses everyone.

Their defense is the problem.. you could argue they only have 2 top 4 dmen and as Greene is getting older and Severson is still developing, they don't have a single top pairing guy as of now. In fact, it's probably the worst in the league to be honest. Schneider can't do it all.

Voted for NJD.

Other looks like they could be in for a down year. Defense kind of sucks, and goaltending isn't what it used to be.
