At the end of the year I'd expect the point breakdown to looks something like:
1. Vancouver 105pts
2. Toronto 96-98pts
3. Calgary 90-94pts
4. Montreal 90-94pts
5. Edmonton 86-90pts
6. Winnipeg 80-85pts
7. Ottawa 75-80pts

Agree with that, might have Toronto in the same range as Calgary and Edmonton a little lower but for the most part I think it's spot on
people who think Edmonton is the 'real deal' this year need to wait about 20 more games I think
look at last year, I am sure the Canucks/Sharks/Wings/Caps etc. had 10 game streaks where they went 3-4-2 or 4-5-1 etc.
While teams like the Oilers/Senators had 10 game runs where they went 7-2-1 or 8-1-1 etc.
it's too small a sample size to have any definitive information about whether a team has made the leap or whether one has fallen back
