NJ - toughest division in the new format. Theyre going to struggle. all 7 other teams are good.
AZ- going nowhere, going to be a tank job, rebuild coming.
DET- still a ways away from being any good but they're working on it.
LA- midst of the rebuild.
OTT- they're doing everything right, couple more years and they'll have a solid team.
ANA- on the decline. Still going to be okay with Gibson in net.
CHI- not sure what to think about this team, Kane is great tho.
BUF- Suffers from being in such a tough division, to many good teams there. see NJ comments.
MIN- the perpetually average team.
FLA- Top heavy division see them in the 4,5,6 slot, fighting with NSH CBJ. 6 in this case.
CBJ- Same as FLA could finish 4th, I have them 5th here behind NSH.
EDM- Shady goaltending, questionable D, no forward depth, Mcdiddles and Drat keep them afloat.
MTL- they might be better than WPG for 4th in div, might have this one wrong but we'll see.
NYR- Solid team, probably make the playoffs in a regular year, but that division is too good.
NYI- Same. Solid team. Definitely make the playoffs under a normal format, division is too good.
