I don't see many changes to the playoff teams. Washington gets back in with a wild-card, Detroit misses for the first time in a century.
The 3 California teams establish clear dominance over the other 4 teams in their division. All 3 teams have holes so I think it will be close for first. I don't get the Arizona love shown thus far. After Yandle/OEL this team has nothing. 2 of their top-3 producing forwards from last year are gone (Vrbata at 51 and Riberio at 47) and their top weapons this year are Gagner and Erat.
Finally I see 5 central division teams making the playoffs: StL/Chi/Dallas/Min/Col.

Stanley Cup Champion: Penguins over the Kings.

Wow, just wow. So many misses in here it's not even funny.
9/16 total with my Stanley Cup Final matchup eliminated in the first round and missing the playoffs respectively.
