Once again, the four Canadian teams will fall to the bottom four spots in the West, and the two teams that Jim Balsillie tried to move to Canada will also miss the playoffs.

I see the Canucks getting similar points to last year, it will just be a more balanced mediocrity rather than the decent start and horrible finish they had last season.

The Oilers will have a decent start to the year with a bunch of home games in October, then they'll start to fall apart with a lot of road games in November. By Christmas, Hall will give MacTavish the "fire him or trade me" ultimatum with regards to Eakins. After getting humiliated twice in less than a week at the Saddledome between Christmas and New Year's, Eakins will find himself unemployed shortly after the start of the New Year. MacTavish will take over behind the bench. They'll have some initial success, but it will be short-lived.

The Flames will be similar to last season. Hiller's play will determine if they do slightly better or slightly worse than last year.

The Jets will be the best of the Western Canadian teams, and that will be the only silver lining to their season.
