Someone has to drop off then but none of the teams in the West have gotten worse. Theoretically the Avs will have a much worse year because Varlamov probably had his career year, so without the insane save % on the amount of pucks he saw theyll probably drop down to 8th-9th which is where the Canucks might sneak in if Ryan Miller is the 2010 version, not the 2014 version. But if the Miller plays the way he played for the Blues the last 2 weeks of the regular season then the Canucks actually could sink below Yotes or Flames. | ||

I think for the next year or two the Central will be providing 5 playoff teams. San Jose is probably the only playoff team that may not make it next year. if they do collapse then I could see Vancouver getting ahead of them. Probably Vancouvers best chance is a SJ collapse/GM blows it all up | ||

They've made some pretty good moves, not the least of which being de-Torting. edit: They can finish ahead of Edmonton, Calgary, Winnipeg, Nashville, Phoenix - and then it's a matter of maybe Anaheim and Colorado aren't really the real-deal yet (they were on the receiving end of all good fortune last season), and then maybe San Jose over-reacts to losing to a good team and wrecks their lineup at some point before the season starts? I don't know. Just saying that it could happen. | ||

https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/steve-moore-now-seeking--68-million-in-todd-bertuzzi-suit-133149964.html had the NHL, Orca Bay, Bertuzzi et al settled this in 2004 it would be long forgotten by now. as the trial date approaches and the trial moves forward we're going to get to watch Bertuzzi knocking Moore unconscious 1000 more times. | ||

Even if they traded Thornton for picks, they'll make it, and regardless it's pretty clear that Thornton isn't going anywhere. I would be very surprised if it's not the same 8 western teams as last year that makes it. My money is on that too. I just think SJ is the one most likely to implode. Its in there nature to disappoint. Missing the playoffs is the only thing that core hasn't done on the choking list. | ||

Petri Kontiola: It happened largely due to family matters but it is also due to fact that this could be my last chance to win the Stanley Cup. I don't think the newest Maple Leaf understands the game of hockey if he thinks Toronto has a chance at winning the cup... | ||

Blues overreacting by going after Statsny and then overpaying, thats panic. | ||

And yes, Wilson is a good GM. He doesn't go full-retard like so many of the other GMs in the league. He's very patient and picks his spots. He does mess up from time to time, though. | ||

Come on, it was a terrible year for us Hey, Leo did what he was supposed to do that season. I was upset when he went to the KHL and if there is one person I'm glad to have back it's him and he plays the way Randy wants. He does his job and he does it well.

One of the biggest reasons we were leading the league in the category and he's gone for 1mil. That's pretty funny. Leo fits well. For 3mil, meh. I sure did miss him, but yeah that money could be used elsewhere. | ||

Going from 2 established goalies to 0 for almost no return, having their best players simply collapse statistically, have their defense turn into a bunch of crippled incompetence. Sure they were in their Calgary Flames post STanley Cup final mode but between Torts and Gillis the brutality and suddenness of the collapse was pretty shocking. | ||
