1) Vegas - If Fleury and Tuch stay healthy and if Stone lives up to his contract. Vegas is the team to beat in the Pacific
2) Flames - If Rittich and Talbot can put up even average numbers the Flames should be fine. Not really any question marks on this team.
3) Coyotes - Just missed last year, should be in this year
4) Sharks - They will really miss Pavelski and their goalies are inconsistent
5) Canucks - hot start as usual, then injuries pile up, as usual. Better but not good enough to be a playoff team.
6) Ducks - Ageing team that will run into injury trouble again.
7) Kings - Not expecting much from another ageing roster
8) Oilers - Exciting times for Oilers fans that they will be a lottery team once again
