BBKL Predictions

[Handsome&FairMike]

Don't have the time to do individual team evaluations (will leave that to those better with prose) but thought I'd rank each conference:

Prince of Wales (East/Central):
1/Buffalo Sabres
2/Dallas Stars
3/Nashville Predators
4/Washington Capitals
5/New Jersey Devils
6/Tampa Bay Lightning
7/Pittsburgh Penguins
8/Florida Panthers
9/New York Islanders
10/New York Rangers
11/Philadelphia Flyers
12/Boston Bruins
13/Columbus Blue Jackets
14/Detroit Red Wings
15/Carolina Hurricanes
16/Chicago Blackhawks

Top 5 pretty easy to pick, middle 6 pretty tough to arrange, and then it falls off... lots of factors that could cause teams on the outside looking in to break through.

Campbell(North/West):
1/Los Angeles Kings
2/Edmonton Oilers
3/Toronto Maple Leafs
4/Colorado Avalanche
5/Vancouver Canucks
6/Minnesota Wild
7/Calgary Flames
8/St. Louis Blues
9/Anaheim Ducks
10/Ottawa Senators
11/San Jose Sharks
12/Arizona Coyotes
13/Vegas Golden Knights
14/Montreal Canadiens
15/Winnepeg Jets

LAK remains a class above, but deciding on the order of 2-6 was not straightforward. Bet we'll get lots of differences there. CGY slots in well at number 7 and then I really had no idea who to put for the last spot. STL through ARZ all have a shot at it in my opinion but I gave STL the edge over ANA due to goaltending... who knows, maybe Hellebuyck carries OTT into the promised land.

Keen to hear what you guys think/your rankings. Excited for things to get started tomorrow!

[Jordan (VGK)]

I suck. Rankings are accurate.

[Loki]

Wales Conference is going to be a tough one, I hope I can sneak into that top 4 but there's some juggernauts to try and overtake there

So have some fun and make a little wager.

Thankfully we didn't do this bet. Would be a shame having the spotlight on our 2 teams after our horrendous starts...22nd and 23rd in the league. And not really close to playoff spots at all.

[Matthew]

Both missing the playoffs.
