I just don't wanna see tampa make it lol its too predictable - I say they lose to NJ in the conf finals cause one im a nj fan and two I like starting new rivalries
also slightly surprised you have pitt under nyr and arizona so far back

The reason why I have Pittsburgh lower than NYR is (because i'm a rangers fan) i mean thinking a lot about it, rangers are building up while pittsburgh is on the decline. Malkin and Letang are almost guaranteed to miss some time (avg of 10 games). Not to mention, phil kessel put up 82 points, which Galchenyuk will just not replicate. He definitely was a reason they probably won 3-4 more games over the course of the year. They do have a really good top 6 and you can never count out crosby, i just think the lack of depth won't be something they can overcome. Rangers have a very good top 6 as well and they are just entering their primes.. they are poised to have a better than expected season with the additions they have made (Panarin, Trouba, Kravtsov, Kakko, Fox) and DeAngelo/Buchnevich took major strides over the course of the season. Continued development of them (and skjei, chytil, howden, lemieux) will be a driver throughout the seasons. There will definitely be some bumps, but Rangers seem like the team that has something to prove (especially with DQ's accountability mentality) while pittsburgh is on the decline
