Any results thus far?


Not yet, going to wait for some more predictions.

I can tell you that everyone has predicted one team in the exact same position.

Canadian and East division is stacked, West division sucks after top 3


Best team in Canadian division isn’t better than 4th in any other division

You have the right to be wrong and don’t say well Toronto had x points this year in the end because theyWouldn’t have gotten as many points if they weren’t playing just Canada teams

The Canadian division has about the same number of competitive teams as most divisions so we’ll see and also the first place team will be better than at least the 4th place pacific team

And the Pacific is by far the worst division in the United States and your best team would be fourth in it

I think they have more. Ottawa has made steps this offseason. But even if they are bottom feeders the rest of the Canadian division would be in the playoff mix in any division. Anaheim, San Jose, LAK wouldn't. Florida, Detroit, Chicago wouldn't. It's going to be easier for one of those teams to make the playoffs than any of the Canadian teams because there is more parity in the Canadian division. They don't have the powerhouse front runners but they have a division full of Dallas type "could make some noise" teams and every game is going to matter all season. Detroit vs Chicago is going to matter for draft position and that's it.

The Group of Death will be the most competitive.
Then the Canadian division.
Then probably the west because it's a bunch of non playoffs teams competing for the final playoff spot.
Then the "central" because there's a pretty clear divide.

I've been hurt too many times by the Panthers. Florida will always be a team that I don't expect to do anything until they do something.

Same. I’ve learned to never get on the Panthers, they’ll end up disappointing you.
