me , as a Canucks fan, I think Florida will repeat

But I want to hear everyone’s opinion

 

[tabness]

Rangers probably

 

[Gunnersaurus Rex]

Dallas Stars

 

[Mr Kot]

I really wanna see Rangers finally do it.

 

[SnowblindNYR]

The Panthers play a unique style that is tailor made for the playoffs unfortunately but it's hard to repeat. If Chytil remains healthy I think this is the best Rangers team in 30 years so hopefully they have a good shot at it.

 

[I am not exposed]

It's early days. I'm sticking with the Oilers. Wouldn't be surprised of a repeat final from last year.

Panthers look like the team in the East to beat. But 3 finals in 3 rows might be a step too far for the Panthers to repeat the cup win.

 

[LemonSauceD]

Vegas.

That team looks absolutely incredible.

 

[RooBicks]

A team with strong depth that adds a cost-effective piece during the season. Or the Oilers.

Specific votes: Oilers, Panthers, Rangers, Stars, Knights, Canucks, Hurricanes, Lightning. Have to see on the Jets yet.

I have to say: If Pettersson returns to 100+ point form, the Canucks have really formidable forward depth this year, but that's a big if at this point.

 

[Peasy]

I'd put my money on Dallas.

 

[Clint Eastwood]

You're not the boss of me. I'll be as biased as I want.

Bruins sweep 16-0 all the way.

 

[The Duck Knight]

Dallas is the safest bet. Most complete team top to bottom.

 

[Gregor Samsa]

The Calgary Flames face off against the Montreal Canadiens in the finals and the cup comes home to Canada

 

[winnipegger]

I think we see a very similar final 4 to last year. I think the Panthers and Rangers are still the best in the East, and Oilers and Dallas still the best in the West. Maybe we get Dallas - NY this year instead though.

 

[Luigi Lemieux]

Florida vs Winnipeg in the finals. Winnipeg ends Canada's drought and wins the cup.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Still taking the Oilers until they’re out

 

[Panteras]

Maple Leafs

 

[FinlandPanther]

Probably betweeen Dallas, Florida, Knights and New York. Gonna be hard for Florida with all the fatigue though.

[Suntouchable13]

I think it will be a repeat SC matchup from last season. Oilers take it this time. Stan will get them a goalie at the deadline.

 

[Lt Dan]

I say this every year, but this is the year I think Dallas or Carolina break thru and win the cup

 

[Monsieur Miz]

Dallas.

 

[LevelingSolo]

Oiler fan saying they look like dog shit so far so surprised to see them being picked by so many in this thread

They can still turn it around but while early they don’t look close to Vegas, Dallas, NYR or Florida

 

[1specter]

I can see Florida again tbh. They have the pieces and the mindset to get it done.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Vegas again

 

[My3Sons]

Dallas is my early season choice. They are a really great team. In the East I expect Florida to beat the Rangers to return to the finals. Would be a heck of a final.
