There is a long history of teams with strong starts who fade off into the distance. TO did it last year, St Louis started 9-1-1. There are always examples of teams that had a good first month or even two and then just couldn't keep up that pace for any extended period of time. I don't expect Edmonton to finish near the top of the conference.

At the end of the year I'd expect the point breakdown to looks something like:

1. Vancouver 105pts - Playoffs
2. Toronto 96-98pts - Playoffs
3. Calgary 90-94pts - 9th-11th
4. Montreal 90-94pts - 8th-10th
5. Edmonton 86-90pts - 10-12th
6. Winnipeg 80-85pts - 11-13th
7. Ottawa 75-80pts - 13th-15th

Obviously my point predictions don't totally jive with what point totals it took to finish in those places last year but I was trying to estimate where they might finish but also how many points they might get.
