1. - Tough, physical and defensive roster will get them to the #1 seed. Solid goaltending and some scoring forwards could take the deep in the playoffs.
2. - The forward grooup is unreal. All that needs to be done is win a few divisional games and acquire some D, and the Atlantic is theres!
3. - I don't see it yet in Washington. A Sub .500 team so far with no real depth, except on D. Moves need to made for them to guarantee a win in the Southeast.
4. - Tough team, solid tending that can hit and grind with anyone, leaving Richards and Gabby to score will take the Rags to a near Atlantic Division title.
5. - Acquired Datsyuk and energy man, Cal Clutterbuck to take a playoff team even higher.
6. - Made some questionable moves and are faced against 3 other strong teams in the Atlantic. 6th Place however, will could work out, as they don't want to draw a team like NYR or PIT in round 1.
7. - Have some nice youth, and can make a good first line. Solid goaltending, in a normally weak division, might get them to the postseason.
8. Gonna be a dog fight for 8th and I don't see anyone really having an advantage. Me thinks Stammer can put the team on his back.

1. - St. Louis have sold off their future, and are in full on title mode. But with this roster, they may be able to achieve their ultimate goal.
2. - Would've won the division with the roster they were given, but adding Koivu and Grossman seals the deal.
3. - Savard, Hemsky, Hanzal, Downie and Franzen will give them the edge over the "OK" Sharks, who are getting younger.
4. - Need help on D, and are in the toughest division in the league. Look for them to finish just behind the Blues, and try to stay away from Detroit.
5. - They'll be in shouting distance of St. Lou, but the tough division will make them a lower seed. A good D, and some toughness up front will keep the Wings as one of the upper echelon teams in WHSL.
6. - The Preds are a great defensive team, but the offense will have to step up and shake this slow start for Nashville to get to the post-season.
7. - Got younger acquiring Leddy, but LAK's roster is too good for these guys to win the Pacific.
8. - The big 3 will carry them to the playoffs just like what we might see in Tampa. With the Coyotes and Wild rebuilding, this opens up some doors for the Ducks.
