I think an Oilers-Bruins final is pretty likely, and I just hope the Bruins have enough depth to prevent the Oilers from taking it (I think they do).
Such a disappointment the Flames fell apart in the off-season. A couple of tweaks to last year's roster and we'd have a proper BOA. Instead we have to just hope this year was voodoo and we don't have years of cap compromised decline/rebuilding to look forward to.

I wouldn't expect the Bruins or Oilers to make the finals if history is any indication. Presidents trophy curse is real and hot teams entering the playoffs usually lose out early in the playoffs. I believe the last time the hottest team in the last 10 games to make the finals was the Capitals in 1998.
