Dream scenario would be for the Habs to sneak into the playoffs and go against Toronto in round 1.
And yet again crush their souls in 7 games.

We sincerely apologize for the extended downtime. Our hosting provider, XenForo Cloud, encountered a major issue with their backup system, which unfortunately resulted in the loss of some critical data from the past year.
What This Means for You:
- If you created an account after March 2024, it no longer exists. You will need to sign up again to access the forum.
- If you registered before March 2024 but changed your email, username, or password in the past year, those changes were lost. You’ll need to update your account details manually once you're logged in.
- Threads and posts created within the last year have been restored.
- Our 2025 light and dark themes were lost, so we are rebuilding them. Light theme is currently available, but work in progress
Our team is working with Xenforo Cloud to recover data using backups, sitemaps, and other available resources. We know this is frustrating, and we deeply regret the impact on our community. We are taking steps with Xenforo Cloud to ensure this never happens again. This is work in progress. Thank you for your patience and support as we work through this.

As others have said, a Stanley Cup Final involving Toronto and Edmonton would break this site and probably the hockey world.
Consequently, if my team (Montreal) is not part of this dream scenario, Toronto vs Edmonton at the end would be my biggest wish.
I'd also love matchups that we don't get to see very often in the playoffs or the obvious rivalries from the past.
To the OP, you should have clarified if this bracket could only use the teams currently in a playoffs position.

I'd love to see a Leafs/Habs 1st round tilt, just for the butt clenching that would be happening in Toronto. Montreal would have absolutely no pressure whatsoever, it would be all on the leafs. The idea of Montreal possibly knocking out Toronto again in the first brings me so much pleasure. 
It would probably not happen and the leafs would more than likely win, but just the sweat and anxiety in Toronto of a possible upset loss to the Habs would be great.

M2 NEW JERSEY vs M3 NEW YORK R - both teams lose to a 2012/2014 La Kings hybrid team
1 WINNIPEG vs WC2 MINNESOTA- The Peg wins in 5
2 EDMONTON vs WC1 CALGARY- Calgary upsets and wins in 4
C2 DALLAS vs C3 COLORADO- Colorado wins a 7 game cage match intensity playoff round with 2 lines brawls and one unplanned pregnancy
P2 LAS VEGAS vs P3 LOS ANGELES- LA in 4 (suck it Vegas)
ROUND 2
A1 OTTAWA vs A2 FLORIDA- Florida in 5
WC1- CAROLINA vs M2 2012/2014 La Kings hybrid team- Kings forfeit... Canes in 0

WINNER
LA KINGS!
Pretty sure the earth would stop spinning or the sun would explode
I was going to be more prescriptive with guidelines but figured I would leave it up to people to decide. Ultimately most people aren’t even doing it anyway and only filling out a path for their team which is super lot the point so it doesn’t really matter anyway
If either Columbus, Montreal or Ottawa takes the matching wildcard spot I foretell that Toronto will tank from first in the Atlantic and fall to second to draw Tampa in the first round instead.
The Leafs took on both Columbus and Montreal and lost previously. The Leafs know that Ottawa is a hungrier and more motivated team. Lots of pathways to failure for the Leafs, and no real good avenue for success.

Thought I'd revive this after the trade deadline. I really hope we can avoid big first round matchups DAL/COL and FLA/TB. Hopefully Dallas runs down Winnipeg, and Florida holds the Atlantic.

The only way for the Jets and Oilers to play in the 2nd would be for Edm to cross over as a WC team into the Central bracket.
Dallas would have to pass us for 1st place.
Then Edm would have to beat Dallas with the Jets beating Colorado or whoever finishes 3rd in the division.
If they are playing Van in round 1 then they can't play a Central team in round 2.
I don't see Edm slipping out of the top 3 in the Pacific.
Edm vs Veg is likely going to be happening in round 2.
