Great summary, I'm surprised you have Winnipeg-s D as edging out Calgary. I'm not too worried about our third pairing anymore, as one of Wideman or Russell will be spending most of his time there. It was brutal last season yes, but Hamilton not only adds to his line, he makes the whole roster deeper.
The top three as you have them could all leapfrog. Probably end up within 5 points between the top and third team. No problem with the order you have. Personally I think I go Montreal, Winnipeg, Calgary, as Montreal is in the easiest div, but yeah it's close and could go either way.
I see Vancouver as falling the most. But they still may not be as bad as Edm or Toronto. They are aging like crazy and last years playoffs proved they cant even keep up with a team injured dramitically. Edmonton COULD catch them. But like you said, I'll believe it when I see it.
