I'd have omitted the Panthers instead of the Wild in the poll, if only based on the fact that the Wild actually play in a cold-weather, hockey-loving city.

And I honestly have no idea who will win the Cup or the scoring race... that's what's going to make this season so exciting.
How about this question:
With all the new rules to encourage offense, how many points will the leading scorer have?

Who knows. But it does seem that the worth of power defenders has skyrocketed. Now pretty much anyone can be set up to speed in with the puck like a bat out of hell. The demure, passing pretty players are going to have all the rougher time finding an edge in a game that's going to be very back and forth, very offensive, and very demanding of stamina
As for the Panthers.. yeah, it's both common sense and likely that Florida have only one team in the future. Though the Panths are a team that are looking relatively strong this season. On top of which, who's Minnesota to get rid of a franchise and then try again so soon? They're quite near being a hockey capital of the world, so get it together this time - frigidtown

I'm thinking the points champion this season will have a total in the 120-130 range.
And we'll see at least five 50-goal scorers.

I voted Habs. I think Philly will win it all, but I'd rank the Habs in a top 6 pick for sure, and anyone who makes the playoffs have a chance, so Go Habs Go!!!
As for hot picks, I made a steal with Mike Ribeiro last season, and by golly, I think he'll be just as big a bargain this year.
I managed to pick him up as a free agent about a week before preseason last season, on a tip from a local news station cuz 1 reporter said he looked bigger and more talented than last year, and the most suprising returning young gun of the year. I turned this free agent pick up into my suprising weapon that led the Habs in points. I think he has a chance at repeating this.
Also, Never forget Michael Ryder. Hes gonna be good. Need a darkhorse defenceman? Francis Bouillion will come into his own this year.
Im not only listing Habs cuz Im a homer, but just cuz i see them most.

Sadly enough.. Anaheim does seem to often put together a respectable hockey team

So their are 12 people within my own office pool.. Each person must pick a team as well as 12 players, order of picking decided by draw
Points that your team earns you are 2 per win and 5 per shutout. It's all regular season, playoffs excluded. I've thus far come up with the following choices (in order) for teams:
1- Philadelphia Flyers
2 - Ottawa Senators
3 - Calgary Flames (or) Vancouver Canucks ???
5 - San Jose Sharks
6 - New Jersey Devils
7 - Tampa Bay
8 - Nashville
9 - Colorado
10 - Montreal
11 - Dallas
12 - Los Angeles
Note that the Red Wings aren't a considered option. Foolish choices, or on route to victory?
