I could see the Kings being one of the worst in the west.

Devils(bad defense)/leafs(young and bad defense/goalie)/sabres(due to injuries and a bad defense)... CBJ all depends on if they get decent goaltending. Detroit will be a bottom 6 team too.

I hope Vancouver comes last so that it forces the ownerships hand in to a rebuild but unless a few big injuries happen I dont see it.

Ducks/Kings/Oilers/Canucks/Coyotes/Jets will all be in tough..

Canucks will surprise people if they don't have major injuries like last season:

#1 and #3 defencemen (Edler/Hamhuis) out for 1/4th of the season each.
#2 centre (Sutter) only played 20 games, Canucks had to rely on sophomore Horvat for tough defensive match-ups.

Reasons to be hopeful:
- Leading the NHL in CF%
- This three game stretch matches their BEST 3 game stretch all of last season in terms of shots against.
- They only came back 3 times all of last season from behind 3-30-1. (This season: 3-30-0).
- They were horrid in overtime last season. This season they have been able to win in overtime.

They dominated St. Louis in possession for the entire game:

That said, I expect a 16-24th finish unless any top players get injuried and the Canucks have to rely on the questionable 4th line and 3rd defence pairing.

Vancouver fan?? What do you know about history and tradition?

If I had to commit to one team, I'd say Columbus for sure, they stink!

If I had to pick a list of five teams, I'd say Toronto, Vancouver, Columbus, Arizona, Carolina.
