+1 thumbs upThat is kool, but do they have what it takes to go all the way?
#4 | 67 days ago

Pens and Habs will be the Eastern favorites.  Others include obviously the Red Wings along with the Rangers, Sharks, and Stars.

+2 thumbs up

Heres my top five for next year:

Detroit

Pittsburgh

Dallas

San Jose

Tampa Bay

 

Chicago will finally make the playoffs.  I like what Edmonton is doing and Toronto is headed in a better direction than the past.  I say the Oilers have a shot at the playoffs as well after last years finish.  Montreal will still be tops and the Kostitsyn deal was great.

#9 | 65 days ago

lol, I'm seeing a lot more confidence in the Rangers here on this site than I am on the Rangers board or that I have

 

Anyway, Detroit is by FAR the favorites to win/repeat, as they pretty much have the exact same dominant team plus Hossa. Tampa Bay will be a much improved team, but they really don't have a shot at the Cup yet

#10 | 65 days ago

Detroit with Hossa now, Pittsburgh is losing their core players, Montreal is losing their players too, But Edmonton made big jumps in the past two days, BUT only on paper.

+1 thumbs upYou might want to put my beloved Kings on that bottom 5 you got. As much as I hope for something different, I think that the Kings will again be in the running for the number one pick this coming year.

You know I don't really believe this. I just figured it wouldn't hurt to put this out there and hope the reverse is true.

kool great bunch of guys lets hope they sign and are in the game at the start.....
#15 | 63 days ago

(Edited by $Big BANK Bob$)
we need a ton of more choices.  Detroit isnt even on this list! and Toronto is?


BTW folks Pittsburgh is done for a few years.  Losing Malone, Hall, and Hossa is too much to make up for.
#16 | 63 days ago

+1 thumbs upDetroit, no one, no one, the the rest in no particular order

Philadelphia, Nashville, Montreal, Aneheim, Dallas, Pittsburgh (maybe), San Jose, Tampa Bay

+1 thumbs upNashville? What've they done lately. They missed the playoffs last year and I don't think they've added anyone significant
#18 | 63 days ago

Well, that goes for some other teams, there are no big names BUT when March comes around a team with a bunch of no bodies will be holding the cup and the team that have the stars will be playing golf. Guess that is the way it goes at least that how I  found it to be.

+2 thumbs upActually Nashville played Detroit pretty tough in the first round. They have a pretty good young defense so I wouldn't count them out.

+2 thumbs upthey were the Red Wings first round opponent and played them as tough or tougher than any team in the playoffs.  They have built a team over time through their system, just like Detroit did.  Nashville has been building a core to play with and win with.  Too bad they still will have to get by Detroit every year.  When the Wings won their second cup they led the league with 10 players on their team for 8 years or longer.

The Wings were a great franchise before the cap and they are after the cap.

Notice how basically the same teams did well before and after the cap.  What does this say about othe owners and GMs around the league?

Yea I dropped the ball on this one, I forgot that they snuck into the playoffs. I guess I'm not really one to talk about Nashville because I don't get the opportunity to see many West games.

 

Btw, The Rangers missed the playoffs 7 straight years before the lockout by trying to make great teams by buying star talent, but post-lockout, they have made it all 3 seasons

+1 thumbs upmaybe the Rangers just needed someone to control how much they spend.  You build a better team through the draft, not free agency.  The Rangers need to keep drafting better and better.  That is where the best talent usually comes from and is usually cheaper too.  Look at Detroit's roster.  They only added one Free agent........but he was a big one.  They have cap room because of all their roster players they drafted.

Forget the Nashville rant.  I forget sometimes that everyone doesnt get the NHL Network in their city.  That channell is great because most sports networks have very little NHL coverage.  It is easy to have teams fly under the radar.
#23 | 23 days ago

Detroit is the other.  It's interesting for everyone to jump on the "They're OLD" bandwagon, then watch the OLD talent come together to win a conference and a Stanley Cup.
