Interesting predictions. I guess they didn't want to take a poke at the Calder winner.
I'd love to see Weber finally win a Norris. She should have already won a couple at this point.

So the Leafs make the playoffs, in front of teams like Montreal, Philly and New Jersey. Care to elaborate?

Can't wait to watch St.Louis and Anaheim rise to the top with all this goalie controversy amidst.
I don't disagree...as much as I love the rookies, however me thinks Andersen and Elliot will be far more valuable this year than most think.

Zorro says "vote for Dobber"
Angus is my best friend at dobberhockey..
I'm curious to see some justification about all the Ducks love here. I feel like they're actually in for some serious regression this year.
Edit - I guess I should add some justification why I think they'll regress:
1. Unproven, raw goalies.
2. No top end d-men.
3. Getzlaf and Perry had career years last year, they're great. But not that great.

My picks are super boring.
I pick all the playoff teams to be back this year.
Buffalo will be clear last-place team in East. I'll still hold that Florida & Ottawa are 2nd/3rd worst.
Arizona is my pick for last place team in West. Nashville and Edmonton will be 2nd/3rd worst. Calgary 4th worst.
I'm not into picking awards.

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.
