I had Tampa winning the cup again, but this might push Washington over. They have added size and grit with their moves (which includes Raffl, who I always liked for some unknown reason).
Mantha may not always play a big man's game, but he does when motivated. If Washington can get Mantha to bring that in the playoffs, I think that team becomes my favourite to win.
They may have spent a lot, but I think they are a bigger and heavier team that continues being skilled. Ovechkin, Wilson, Mantha - that's going to be difficult to stop in the playoffs, not counting the skill they have, and the grit they have in their bottom 6. That's a team built for the playoffs. If they can bring it all together, I think they win the cup.
