Best to Worst

LAK - They have been a bit banged up, and will be missing Doughty. They are mostly younger and less experienced in my eyes.
NSH - The Flames mostly have close games against them, but I think that Calgary will have an easier time shutting them down. The play of Josi and Saros will be huge factors for Nashville.
DAL - They're getting older, full of vets, but they keep getting timely scoring against us. I think they have perfected deflection and rebound goals against the Flames, which will be tough to deal with in the playoffs. For any other team I would pick DAL as the best opponent, but Benn, Seguin and Pavelski have had our number for a while.
VGK - Assuming they get everyone back from LTIR for the first round they will be a very tough opponent. The Knights have the experience and the depth to be a power house in the playoffs. In addition, they somehow got the Honda Center curse in their building as well. They might be a bit rusty in the first round, but I prefer them facing Colorado in the first round.
