Where will everyone finish?

[duwal]

Phoenix last!?!? I think they'll challenge for a playoff spot, especialy with the signing of Robert Lang and assuming their young players like Mueller get better this season as well.

can you honestly look at the other teams in the conference and say for sure Phoenix is a better team than them?? I just don't see a clear case of them over any other West team

[gosens151911]

Well I think Phoenix has just as good a chance as any of the bottom half of the Western Conference of squeaking into the playoffs

P.S. Karine, I saw where you put Toronto!

I dont know if some of you are blind or just hate them , but the Leafs will be better than the Islanders and the Panthers.

In fact , i can see them challenging a playoff spot and finished 8 or 9 in the East..

I don't think they'll fight for a playoff spot. They don't really improve, they just get bigger. Nobody can't score and there's a big question mark between the pipes.
The defence is better for sure (even if I hate to see Komisarek there), but that's all

The rangers are so over-rated , their defense is one of the worst in the East

The Islanders and Panthers will be bottom of the barrel teams this year no doubt. The Panthers lost their seconde best player, and the Isles are too young and play in the best division in hockey. I can see Toronto hanging around the 8-11 spots. The Rangers have nothing on defense, but they have a solid group of 2 way forwards much like NJ which will cover some of their defensive holes. Also, don't be fooled by the "Tortarella system" myth. The guy walked in last year and swore he'd never trap, yet when the chips were down (last 7 games of season plus playoffs) all he did was trap and the team was actually better doing it. I see them ending up in the 10-14 spot simply because they can not score.

Really ? Then you probably know that last year , the Leafs scored more goals than the Habs , right ?

[RocWells]

if the leafs D stands up and the goaltending stays solid, the buds will be in a playoff spot and will win the cup in 09/10! yes thats right Leaf Stanley Cup Champs 09/10!
but I say that every year.

I actually like this prediction, only one I might change is New Jersey/New York
