Surprised that Columbus isn’t in the top 10.

Who would you put there? Vegas? Washington? Both have key injuries in Lehner and Backstrom.

Maybe Pittsburgh slides in, or the Blues from the west.

Honestly 9 and 10 could be bumped out by the Kings or st. Louis if it weren't for suspect goaltending, or Dallas based on the strength of goaltending. Could also go dark horse and say that Ottawa could surprise.

Otherwise, solid list.

Totally.

Sens were admittedly on the radar as that dark horse for the Top 10.

I actually forgot about McAvoy's injury/surgery. To go with other injury concerns, will have to bump them out of the Top 10.
