I'm in the same boat here. I'm not excited about the team, but they do have me somewhat curious about how they will do against a very different style of play that the majority of the league embraces. The Pacific is a bit of a gong show, so anything could happen. Edmonton and Vancouver are going to try and score their way to success, but get hammered in their own end. Vegas is going to be a mixed bag. I think the loss of Fleury is really going to be felt hard. The California teams are not in great shape and should be the punching bag for the rest of the league. Seattle is going to be brutal. That leaves Calgary, who will play a more defense driven system, but with some really bad defensemen. I'm not sure how this is going to play out, but I hope it works out.
