Simply that they're among the weakest of a group of contenders.
- LA (2 recent cups)
- Chicago (2 recent cups)
- St. Louis (one point less than COL last season and on the upswing with more off-season improvement)
- San Jose (one point less than COL/total wild card)
- Colorado
And I think SJ and COL are interchangeable.
If Varlamov falters that team might not even make the playoffs.

Agree, but I suspect Iginla might have been thinking that in the search for a Cup win, he's picked two prior Cup winners with proven veteran lineups, and that hasn't worked. In Colorado, he's got a team that appears to be on the rise with youth, great offense potential, and an excellent goaltender.
