Nathan MacKinnon. Hopefully he will finally be showcased for the player he is. Really, really like that kid.
Would be cool to finally see St. Louis win the Cup after 52 years. That and they clawed their way from the basement into the second round.
Columbus going all in and then winning it all would be a great story, especially with the uncertainty looming around them.
Vegas is just likeable. It's too bad they are in the Pacific division. McPhee wasn't afraid to take a Stanley Cup finalist and make them that much better.
Islanders because their franchise guy took off to play for his favorite team, Barzal could've been a Coiler, and Trotz is so respectable.
So, Avs, Blues, Blue Jackets, Vegas, Islanders in that order.
