I will start saying needs to be careful of how many mega contracts they're adding on. There aren't too many teams around that can or are willing to add a big contract.

Otherwise just two of our newest owners shaking things up and making it interesting for the rest of us.

Alrighty then. Who wants to start this thread off? What, No one? Alright. I might as well throw my predictions out there for best teams in the West this year.


PPG's TOP 8 WESTERN CONFERENCE TEAMS THAT MAKE THE PLAY-OFFS

8. Will need to keep up this year
7. Turned a corner this off-season and will contend
6. A new owner makes big difference, so do a few key trades.
5. New ownership makes huge difference, rebuild happens fast. 
4. talented line-up always in it annually.
3. Always in the mix with Quick!
2. Lundqvist only made these guys better, Thanks Papps! 
1. What did you expect?! Obviously my Hawks will be 1st in line! LOL

My Wildcard team with the potential to spoil it for a contender and sneak into the post season is but only if they land a starting goalie!

Nothing personal men! Just my 2.5 cents! LOL


BTW how many teams make the playoffs per conference now that we've been realigned!?

I'm glad the Wings are gone from my Division! YAH!
Have fun handling the Iza-Naut out East! LOL

Hawks will draft with the 115th pick overall center Felix Girard of the QMJHL Drakk-aaaaaaaaaaar.

Snug, draft was moving to quickly and Sharks dangled Harts. Like I said to Jack about Johnny Boychuk and my girlfriend last night, drop'em! LOL
