Regular season ranking

Fairly similar than in years past but post your ranking for every team in each division.

You get 10 points for every right ranking and one point off for each spot away from the correct position.

No need to PM just post your picks. We're all adults here.

I like this because it will cause debate. I think Calgary got much much better by adding smith and Hamonic. They were also much better in the second half of the season. I think they could finishe top 4 in the west.
I also think Winnipeg gets better with simple logic that if their D is healthy and youth takes the next step they will turn some heads. I thought I underrated them.
Sab José barely changed anything except loosing Marleau. I think they'll skid. Washington got worse too, lost a bunch of players. And I don't understand how you think MJ can be better than Carolina. I think Carolina has a shot at the playoffs. The bruins miss the playoffs in my book.

Flo, you're missing Buffalo.

I just don't believe Calgary or Carolina will go anywhere without goaltending.

Good catch, fixed.

You don't have much faith in mike smith or Scott darling?

Nope.

I think I put Arizona way too high. OEL was injured, too, and it could be bad.
Edit: OEL had MRI, no "structural damage" to his knee. Guess that's good, but a bad sprain could still keep him out a while.

I think Winnipeg and Calgary (goaltending) and Carolina (experience) will be this year's big surprises.

We won't accept your rankings if they come in after the season starts. Pre season ends soon!

I'll do it soon. I don't like Columbus this year, so I'm deciding. There's gonna be a huge surprise on someone missing the playoffs, could be them,

I'm the only one (so far) who didn't pick the Devils to finish at the bottom of the Metropolitan. Not only that, but I put them ahead of three other teams. I could be way off or a genius.
