What is an intriguing Stanley cup matchup that you could see happening…

Maybe just easier to temporarily disable any member who has posted in the Oil or Leafs from posting in the main boards.

They should do that anyway

I can see Edmonton but Toronto has basically no chance.....Florida will turn it up a notch and come out of the East setting things up for a rematch.

I think Toronto can do it, the east feels weak this year. Florida is still the team to beat but even they don't seem quite as strong and they're coming off two cup finals runs so fatigue may set in. Washington is overperforming and NJ/Carolina are underperforming. If there was ever an opportune time for the Leafs to make a run this is it.

I feel like Florida is just sitting in their rocking chair at the moment. Will tick the season along float between 1st and 2nd in the division but only gear up level from mid march onwards.

If I'm picking a final now it's a rematch from last year.

But the OP is right most contenders have some warts this year. Will be a key trade deadline for trying to cover them. The team who gets it right will be a big chance to win it all.
