One real team, and 7 pretenders.
Get to the conf. finals and anything can happen from there.
"Get in and anything can happen" might actually be true for a couple years. But it's still a terrible plan.

I agree not sure how anyone could argue the pacific is a strong division. East has been better than the west for a few years and only Vegas could be labelled a top 8 team in the league. Oilers might get there but still not there IMO
Vegas also is great but I see potential for that not to last too. Lehner seems to be injury primed and fleury is getting old. I like stone but still struggle to think patches is this good. He was considered garbage in Montreal (another player on a bad team that magically is unreal on a good team). Pietrangelo is that young anymore either. They obviously are good and can stay good but it’s not a lock they are stacked for the next 3 years
