San Jose, Nashville, and St Louis look to be the obvious ones to watch for in the bottom of the standings.
Minnesota and Vancouver probably eventually make changes to try the salvage the season. Chicago and Anaheim at this point seem to be good enough to be in the mushy middle at least.
Pretty much the entire eastern conference is above .500 and I expect that to be a battleground all season.
The Blues and Predators are the ones that are going to be annoying - both from a bottom of the standings perspective, and also because I could see them being more proactive at moving out veteran assets than the Flames and flooding the trade market a bit.
