Realistically, how do we see them finishing? I really doubt they will be as good as last year, but they will still be a very good team. How sweet would it be if they finished around 15? This draft is going to be so much fun to watch unfold ...
ABSOLUTELY AWFUL.
WORST TEAM IN THE LEAGUE.
NHL Final Standings:
30. St Louis
29. NY Islanders

THATS RIGHT.
They probably make the playoffs. That said, with a question mark at goalie (NOTE: NOT SAYING THEIR GOALIES ARE BAD IT'S JUST A QUESTION MARK DON'T JUMP DOWN MY THROAT) and playing in such a tough division, it's entirely plausible that they could finish 4th, behind Chicago, Minnesota, and Colorado. Now, I certainly expect them in the playoffs, but connect the right dots and they might just be an extra lotto ball.
What about Dallas? How does a team with Seguin/Spezza miss the playoffs?

More than likely top 5, top 10 at worst. However they are in the toughest division in hockey so who knows

Yeah, forgot about Dallas.
That's the crazy thing, there's at least 5 good teams in that division. Someone has to finish fifth. And don't forget Nashville could push in. And even finishing fifth is no guarantee (though my money would be on both wildcards coming from that division)
You have at least one team not having a chair when the music stops playing...possibly two.
Why two.....in the pacific if you think Calgary, Edmonton, and maybe Vancouver are not really in the race and Phoenix could feed off of the that could get them into a wildcard spot...thus 4 team coming from the pacific.
I'm rooting for St. Louis to not get a chair.
