I like Pittsburgh's chances even though they're a young team.. they got a taste of playoff's last year and I'm sure they'll come back hungrier... NYR's have a solid team too..... at least on paper...............

the pens def have what it takes to come out of the east, ottawa, NYR, and philly are also my picks to face the ducks in the stanley cup final next year.

I think so...
still have IMO the strongest all around team in the west...
+ schnieder and burtuzzi are decent pick ups to strengthen their depth.

pre-season won't tell jack either... prolly most teams will play a lot of their farm team guys, and just watch, the Leafs will go like 8-0 in the pre-season and everyone will think it's their year

ya pre-season never means anything really, it's never the true team playing...but at least the teams get to try out the new guys who might not play regularly

I think they'd have a decent second line if Wellwood plays like he did last year... prolly Blake - Wellwood - Tucker ... that's if they keep the antropov - sundin - pony line in tact

how did the leafs do? the game was on Leafs TV right?

I need to find some sleepers for my pool I'm in this year... there's way too many teams to have a stacked team now...
