Rated teams as they pertain to the Playoffs:
Over:
DAL Odd lineup, need 2 more Top 6F & 1 more Top 4 D, otherwise...1st or 2nd round exit
COL Young, 1.5 line team, D is very green, loss of Barrie will show...1st or 2nd round exit
CHI (I still think they miss the PO's again. Cup window closed 3 yrs ago)
CAR 1st or 2nd round exit (Goaltending & F scoring depth)
PIT Bubble team unless Malkin goes beast mode, then still a 1st round exit. Aging core w/lots of hard miles on them. Questionable D.
CBJ Some people actually think they'll make the playoffs...bottom 5 in East
MTL Some decent pieces, but odd lineup. Need better C's & D's. Bubble team, just miss the playoffs.
SJ Too depleted up front now, EK will always be a ? defensively , 2nd or 3rd round exit.
Under:
NYI Should be solid defensively, well coached, young guns with more experience, 2nd round exit.
FLA Lots of talent, decent depth & great G. Quenneville & Talon. 1st or 2nd rd exit.
NSH Some pundits have them missing the playoffs... WC final or Cup final.
VGK Should trade for a #2 & #3 Dman & go all in. Alex Tuch & 1st,2nd as price? Their Top 6 F are as good as any. 2nd or 3rd round exit otherwise.
STL Have seen a few published lists with Blues as a 5-8 seed...too low. WC final or Cup final.
