I'm picking the Rangers and Vancouver to be finalists this year with New York winning the cup.
Carolina and Edmonton will be the other two conference finalists. Edmonton's goaltending will let them down. Carolina is good but not better than a Rangers team stacked at every position.
Calgary stinks.
There's organized chaos. And then there's a discombobulated mess. The Flames are the latter.
They'd be best off trading anyone with value for picks.
It won't be easy with those long term high paying contracts to guys like Weegar, Huberdeau, and Kadri. The GM who gave those deals out is a chump. But where there's a will there's a way and besides...
Even if they don't deliberately tank they should still stink enough to finish bottom of the league anyways.
