Minnesota is probably the best first round match-up for the Stars. Colorado is the second-best; and Nashville would be third-best. Chicago or St Louis would be the least-desirable.
Nashville is also the least-likely first-round opponent for the Stars. The Predators are unlikely to move up into the top-3 in the Central or to drop down into the second Wild Card spot, so they're almost guaranteed (unless something drastic happens over the final few weeks of the season) to play the winner of the Pacific in the first round.
