I'd say Boston, and it'll be interesting to see how their rebuild/retool goes compared to ours. They obviously looked at their position and chose to sell and got great assets back without losing any young pieces.
Now, they're obviously further out and have played more games, but if we think the Ducks are still potentially in the hunt here in the West, no reason to think that there's zero chance Boston could get in. But they took a stance and moved guys out and did well with it I think.
I just hope the arms race cements a central division finalist this year (excluding the Jets). No more shenanigans like last year eh. Jets, Oilers, Leafs out first round, Nucks, Habs don't make it. Ottawa makes a run, has a good 1st round but bows out too.
As for us, playoffs or drop into top 10, that's all I ask.
