Yup, the West looks pretty weak for the next few years:
COL
STL
MIN*
DAL
NAS
CGY
EDM
LAK
VGK
Probably 7 teams fighting for 6 spots, with a much easier path for PAC teams. Not impossible for some of the next five to get into the mix, but it seems unlikely:
VAN
WPG
SJS
ANA
SEA
CHI
ARI
*(I've been expecting them to crash for years given their cap trouble, but they always find a way and probably deserve more respect)
