2014-2015 Predictions

Atlantic Division

1. Boston Bruins
2. Tamp Bay Lightning
3. Montreal Canadiens
4. Toronto Maple Leafs
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Detroit Red Wings
6. Ottawa Senators
7. Florida Panthers
8. Buffalo Sabres

Toronto making it is probably Homerism, but Datsyuk is old, Senators C depth is poor and Florida and Buffalo are pretty poor

Metropolitan Division

1. Pittsburgh Penguins
2. New York Islanders*
3. New York Rangers*
4. Washington Capitals
   -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. Columbus Blue Jackets
6. New Jersey Devils
7. Philadelphia Flyers
8. Carolina Hurricaines

*I would have said Rangers over Islanders, but Stepan is out.

Columbus played well last year and Johansen is an emerging superstar.  That being said I find there depth poor at both forward and D.

Central Division

1. Chicago Blackhawks
2. St. Louis Blues
3. Dallas Stars
4. Minnesota Wild
5. Colorado Avalanche
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
6. Nashville Predators
7. Winnipeg Jets

Pacific Division

1. LA Kings
2. San Jose Sharks
3. Anaheim Ducks
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Vancouver Canucks
5. Phoenix Coyotes
6. Edmonton Oilers
7. Calgary Flames

5 from the Central, 3 from the Pacific.
