Tried to be a little bold, as too placements.

I think the Yotes will be very much improved this year, getting into 80 points range, with the additions of Cooley, Guenther, Durzi, Zucker, Dumba, Kerfoot, they've added a ton of secondary scoring too support Keller and Schmaltz. They will struggle keeping the puck out but with Chicago still in rebuild mode, and STL and NSH seeming to take steps back to some extent within the last year, that allows the Yotes to rocket up the standings this year.

Bruins - I do this every year... I will be wrong... I am sorry.... I think missing Bergy and Krejci will severely hurt, plus witha lot of players having career years last year (Zacha, Lindholm, Ullmark, the rest of the roster) I think it will be hard to replicate. But I'm gonna end up wrong again.

Lightning in WC - Not sure if it's considered bold or not but Tampa showed signs of regression last season, and have gotten worse on paper in two straight offseason, I think they will be good enough but with a lot of competitive teams in the Atlantic I think it will be a tight race.

Columbus - I'm doubling down on my take last year of them not being as bad as they were. They were absolutely steamrolled by injuries last season, The Defense healthy should be 100x better this year, and young players like Marchenko, Johnson both taking extra steps and the addition should make them at least a decently competitve team.

Flames - Their Sutter-less parade doesn't magically fix them. I think Huby will bounce back to some extent but they havea lot of players that still seem to not want to be there, I think that proves to be an issue and they sell off at the deadline because they aren't gaurenteed a playoff spot.
