Has to be the Panthers. SCF appearance last year. Core is back and got big additions at the deadline. Path out of the East much much much cleaner than out of the West.
That said, it's a wide open field. Edmonton could get hot and Skinner could be OK enough. Colorado is a sleeping giant that apparently might have Landeskog back. Dallas somehow forgotten. Defending champs added a 1C and top pair d at the deadline. Carolina has been around enough that they just need a break to break through. And ofc NYR is in there too.
Then you've got teams who probably aren't "contenders" outright but who could easily make a run: Vancouver, Boston, Toronto, and Winnipeg for me in this category.
NYR are maybe fortunate that the Metro looks like the weakest division this year. But part of that is NYR not exactly looking like the beast of the east.

Gun to my head I would say Florida but there are 8 teams that have a legit shot to win it if things break right and one of them is the Rangers. By that I mean, getting hot at the right time, goaltending, lack of injuries, puck luck. Too many variables in hockey to know who is going to win 16 games. Who thought Florida who barely squeaked in was going to make it to the finals?

My best HF friend is a Stars fan and I wouldn't mind them losing to us in the SCF.
