Looks like Edmonton may be the real deal this year. Toronto has indeed surprised me, although I am not convinced they can keep up this pace for 82 games. Things look good in the nation's capital. The Canucks and Habs are off to slow starts. The Jets need improvement.

I have trouble seeing Edmonton as the real deal, they're getting most of their production from one line, and otherworldly over his head goaltending by Khabby.
They are so similar to the Flames under Greg Gilbert that exploded out of the gate, and then fell apart that its uncanny.
Edmonton is playing on the enthusiasm of their young players, and thats great, but thats not going to last, the Oilers aren't deep enough to be able to counter then inevitable low areas.
Its just the same on the other side where the Canucks won't struggle for ever and they're too deep and experienced to be that bad.
