Lol @ toronto finishing last in the east. Even more, lol @ NYI and ATL finishing ahead of them. No way. Toronto will not make the playoffs this year (I think) but they will not finish dead last. Their goalie is awesome, and they have one of the top defenseman (Kaberle) and some good scorers in Blake, Antropov and Hagman, Kubina, Ponikarovsky, Steen and Tlusty. They have others as well. Definately not a top team AT ALL, and it would be a stretch to get into the playoffs, but they will finish betwen 10th and 12th for sure. Theres a few worse teams. I say they will finish 11th or 10th in the east, not dead last. Here's my predictions:
East:
1-Philadelphia Flyers
2-Washington Capitals
3-Montreal Canadiens
4-Tampa Bay Lightning
5-Pittsburgh Penguins
6-New York Rangers
7-Buffalo Sabres
8-Boston Bruins
9-New Jersey Devils
10-Carolina Hurricanes
11-Ottawa Senators
12-Toronto Maple Leafs
13-Florida Panthers
14-New York Islanders
15-Atlanta Thrashers
West:
1-Calgary Flames
2-Detroit Red Wings
3-Anaheim Ducks
4-San Jose Sharks
5-Chicago Blackhawks
6-Edmonton Oilers
7-Dallas Stars
8-Minnesota Wild
9-Columbus Blue Jackets
10-Phoenix Coyotes
11-Vancouver Canucks
12-Colorado Avalanche
13-Nashville Predatores
14-St Louis Blues
15-LA Kings
