Alright let's hear it! Playoff predicitions, name the top 3 in each division and who is going to get the wild card at the end of the season, winner doesn't get anything except bragging rights!
I'll start: WESTERN CONFERENCE Central: 1. Colorado Avalanche (motivated off of Jon's run last year in the JGHL they make a run of their own!) 2. Dallas Stars 3. St. Louis Blues
Pacific: 1. Calgary Flames 2. Vegas Golden Knights 3. San Jose Sharks
West Wild Card 1. Nashville Predators 2. Phoenix Coyotes (!!!!)
EASTERN CONFERENCE Metro: 1. Washington Capitals 2. Carolina Hurricanes 3. New Jersey Devils
Atlantic: 1. Tampa Bay Lightning 2. Toronto Maple Leafs 3. Boston Bruins
East Wild Card 1. Florida Panthers 2. New York Rangers
Montreal and Vancouver are honorable mentions that make playoff pushes this year but don't get in. My Detroit Red Wings finish in LAST place and the hockey gods bless us with the first overall pick. Curious to here feedback and everyone's predictions!

Keith/Seabrook on the decline, Maatta is still slow - Gustafson isn't bad though. The West has a ton of teams that can compete this year.

The D isn't super, but we still have Boqvist who I am CERTAIN will get a call up during the year, that kid has crazy skills.

I'm not great at predictions especially this early, but I think the Devils are going to have a great season and go deep. Always on the Sharks, and I like the Avs too. Finally, not to sound like the biggest homer, but the Toronto Maple Leafs will win the Stanley Cup! Not because of Tyson Barrie, key adds like Mikheyev and Sandin, or all the new contracts, but purely because of the rub from the Raptors win. They know it can be done here, they felt it live, and dammit they want to feel it too. Book it!

Toronto is riding the high, I think this is the year they beat Boston in the first round, but they need to be able to bang bodies in the playoffs, and I don't think they have enough guys to bang in the playoffs. Marner reminds me of Johnny Hockey, great regular season player but might be too small for playoffs.

I hear ya on Marner, he's pretty scrawny so he's at risk of getting banged in the playoffs especially against bigger opposition. They added a few big bodies but overall yea they're small. Puck possession, speed, and skill will make or break this team. Honestly, they'll go as far as Cody Ceci takes them.
