I think Ottawa makes it over Florida, but apart from that I agree with all your playoff teams. Maybe Winnipeg gets in if they don’t move their pending UFAs

its honestly a wild card between nj and carolina for first but i like new jersey's top 9 more than carolina's so that edges out a bit

I really can't see Boston making it unless they get a C. Zacha - Coyle - Geekie as your top 9 C is just terrible. They lost Bergeron, Krejci, Hall, Bertuzzi, Orlov, Foligno, Clifton and replaced with Geekie, Lucic, JVR, Shattenkirk? Woof. Can't win anything being awful down the middle. My mind changes considerably if they get a top line C though.

Carolina's blueline is WAY stronger, and Carolina's goaltending is better...

imo their blue line and goaltending is good enough to squeeze into the playoffs but yea their C depth is very very questionable. they def aren't winning with zacha as the 1C

agree with carolina's defense being the favourite but i rlly dont think goaltending is such a huge advantage over nj. you also have to remember that goalies like andersen would play well because that blue line on carolina is scary. goaltending is good but is more of a factor from carolina's superb depth on the blue line

The game is played by humans, just about anything can happen. Being so indignant every time someone places NJ over CAR (even though they were just 1 point apart last season!) is getting old.

Grow up.

I'd agree about the statement with Andersen if he hadn't been as good as he was in Toronto. He's better than Vanacek without the Canes defensive aid. It obviously helps him, but it's not the only reason he plays well.

They had those advantages last year and beat out NJ by 1 point.

NJ gets meier the whole year and potentially adds young studs on defense. Also added toffoli.

I keep seeing the same cane fans have this same reaction and thought they must have won the division by 10 games.

Nope. A single point. And you act like it's some insane idea that that one point could flip

I do appreciate it when you get annoyed when I seek justification.

So? People who think the standings might change by 1 point next year have to justify that? In what world?

So, you're trying to say that an injury riddled Canes team that survived to beat the Devils to the division title last year that then added Orlov, Bunting and DeAngelo with no notable subtractions that beat the Devils around in the postseason is not going to be better than a Devils team that has at best spun its wheels this postseason? Buddy... tears of joy

The Devils finished 1 point back of Carolina, it's not unreasonable for someone to predict them to be better next year. Stop with the indignation already.

Did you just casually skip over that? If you aren't going to at least try and understand why I look for justifications, you need to stop this conversation. I'm allowed to ask why someone thinks the team that won the division while injury riddles that just added major pieces is going to be passed by a team that the leaders battered in the playoffs...

If I was a Vegas fan or a Florida fan, I'd ask for an explanation there too! Or, perhaps I'd understand that both Florida and Vegas have lost multiple pieces from last season... but you know.

The Hurricanes also missed Svech for a good part of the season with his season-ending injury.
The Hurricanes went out and improved both their blue line and their top six this off season (Bunting and Orlov)
