You could make an arguement that LA improved just as much.
They added Kovalchuk, plus Phaneuf at the deadline, and they only had 27 games of Jeff Carter last season.
They already had a pretty good core to add to.
They have 7 40ish point forwards.
Probably the second best forward in the division.
The best defenceman.
The best goalie.
I think they are the team to beat in the Pacific this season, although Anaheim is just as deep and should be right there with them.
I would say the other teams are darkhorses to win the division on paper. Of course anything can happen. Just look at Vegas last year.
