I'm sure many of them are using last year as precedent. Probably not the wisest idea.

Team Odds
We won the Presidents trophy last year and went out in 5 games. This year we have the worst powerplay in the league and it looks like it could be the worst in franchise history. The Sedins are probably playing the worst hockey of their careers, Edler is awful, Kesler had two surgeries and a broken foot to come back from, Booth was useless when he was healthy, and Ballard has probably been one of our more solid D-men. If betting against that is not a wise idea I really have to question what the bet is.
If hawks, Ducks, Blues, and King are all knock out of the first round......we should be able to the West.....
Looks about right, I had us at 5% before Roy, so 7% after.
We need an option for "do not make the playoffs."
It's certainly not out of the question.
No one else is concerned about the Wings who have beaten the Canucks 5-2 and 8-3... ?
I see those games as outliers.
The real question I'd like to know is where do people think we would have been with a healthy Ryan Kesler for the entire season so far?
If you believe that once the post season begins it's a whole new ballgame then I don't think you can look at the way this team is playing right now and be able to accurately assess how they will do in the playoffs.
You could argue that Kesler is the most valuable player on the team and without him this team just isn't the same. If he can come back and play even close to what he is capable of then he's going to be a lot better then Ebbett and Roy should be a significant upgrade on Schroeder.
If we can just stay healthy enough in the playoffs I think this team has good of a chance to win as any other team in the West.
The talent IS there. Just compare this roster to the rest of the teams in the West and tell me which team is significantly better than the Canucks? IMO Chicago has better top end talent but we play them tight and with luck and injuries factoring in you never know.
