Calgary
Edmonton

Seattle (who knows what they will be this year?)
Los Angeles
San Jose
Anaheim
There is only one sure playoff team in the whole division. And their pick is definitely a 20-30 pick (probably 25-30). Calgary's pick is almost certainly higher, and has the potential to be much higher.

Kind of depends on Quick but I expect the Kings to take a step forward this year. So many great young players, a couple have to emerge for them and Kopitar is still pretty good.
Seattle decided they wanted to suck, so they will.
Flames under Sutter should be fighting for a playoff spot again, probably will make it.
I predict last place for San Jose.
