#2 \| 63 days ago nyrangers (+)	Mara has just re-signed with the Rangers- 1 year $1.9M (took a pay cut to stay in NY) J Bo will probably re-sign with the Panthers as they freed up some cap space by trading away Jokinen Teppo Numminen

#4 \| 62 days ago irbe38 (+)	+1 Tampa's new ownership needs to get their collective asses in gear, especially the way they treated Boyle. The Sharks got two winners from Tampa, and Robb Blake to boot. Bret Hedican would be a good pick up, I hope they get a good puck moving D-man, that is almost a must for an elite team to have as the NHL "Special Teams" have never been so important as the past few years Bret Hedican

By the way Rob Blake isn't the player he use to be-------don't get me wrong he can still bring it, but 5 mill is a bit too steep. Other

They've acquired just a coupla (sarcasm) decent players to go with maybe the best (LeCavalier), they'll easily make the playoffs this year. Remember, they play in the SouthEast Andrej Meszaros (RFA)

I'm not sure about Jose Theodore +1 As long as Theorore is decent, which I believe he will be, the Caps have a shot with their dynamic young offense (AO, Semin, Backstrom), veteran leadership (Clark, Nylander, Brashear), and a very good young defenseman in Mike Green, they will be a strong team. They also have some cap space left so let's see if they do anything else. They are certainly not a cup-contending team, but they have a solid shot at the SE, pending the play of Tampa Teppo Numminen

Remember, they play in the SouthEast They missed the playoffs in a bad Eastern Conference. That s says a lot more than you realize! Just because they add a few players, they lost some great players. First Brad Richards ast season at the deadline and now they traded Dan Boyle too? YEAHHHHH fear the "ning"........LMAO No one............(God I hope NOT!)

#12 \| 59 days ago Nick S (+)	The only top notch defensemen on this list is Bouwmeester and I am not sure how they could get him. No one............(God I hope NOT!)

YEAHHHHH fear the "ning"........LMAO How can the Eastern Conference be bad? That must be your opinion, as the teams only play 10 inter-conference games the whole schedule. Hardly enough games to determine which conference is significantly better. Andrej Meszaros (RFA)

The Kings, were 29th; however, that didn't stop them from having a pretty good record against the eastern conference. I am a little weary of all the new players TB has signed. I am not jumping on the "Look what TB has done in the off season bandwagon". Now, this could be due to the fact my Kings made a lot of signings last off season and , well we all know what happened there. Other

I think the reason I'm not sold on all the signings is the Lightning have never done this before: hence, I don't know what to think. But then again, when a team signs Mark Recchi as an afterthought, well my God you can't help but think those 22 guys are going to be able to compete with anyone in the league. Andrej Meszaros (RFA)

#16 \| 56 days ago nyrangers (+)	+2 Yes, the Eastern Conference is weaker, and the SE division is the weakest in the NHL. However I think the Bolts will come out on top in that division, but they are weak on defense, and they don't have a great goaltender to bail them out Teppo Numminen
