Boston is my first guess, I expected an eventual drop but wouldn’t have thought it would be so steep. I think some of their key guys improving would make a huge difference.

Then the Islanders always seem to pull wins out of their ass at some point late. Sorokin can drag them to the playoffs if their skaters stay healthy.

 

[BB88]

From that list you’d 1st have to think Boston could get it together but none of those teams seem like an any kind of threat

Just more of who’s the least garbage

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

Islanders will loser point their way to a berth

 

[RickyLafleur]

Definitely not Ottawa, Pittsburgh, Buffalo, or anyone else currently at the bottom.

 

[Auston Marlander]

I think Ullmark wills the Sens into WC2. This isn't to say they are good, it's to say the rest are hot garbage this year. The best of the worst if you will.

 

[Pablo El Perro]

It's a bit early for exact standings predictions, considering 1st in the Metro is a one game swing, and every team except the Pens have games in hand on the Devils. Having said that, I'll go with the Sens.

 

[Hamilton Bulldogs]

I’d go bruins

 

[Chainshot]

Until they are eliminated I will still think the Bruins.

Granted, it's still early and struggling teams have plenty of time to string together a respectable stretch, but it's looking like another year where those who push for an expanded playoffs don't have a lot of ammunition.

 

[missionAvs]

I like the Bruins or the Sens.

 

[PaulD]

Habs.

LOL

 

[qc14]

I think the Sens have looked like the best team out of that group. Given their history though, NYI is going to go like 32-25-25 and back their way into it

 

[Golden_Jet]

Senators is the best of the losers

 

[kvladimir]

I know it doesn't really mean much, but looking at goal differential, seems like BUF might have an edge...

 

[TheBeerNerd]

Islanders. The Atlantic is pathetic. The Isles kinda are too, but at least they're getting loser points and show a modicum of consistency.

 

[LeafalCrusader]

Bruins will get it together at some point.

 

[BallardEra]

I know it doesn't really mean much, but looking at goal differential, seems like BUF might have an edge...

Last year though that meant nothing when the Caps got WC2 spot.

 

[thebestnic]

Habs.

LOL

We in da mix it's official

Sorry fellow Isles fans but I do not want this level of mediocrity rewarded with another bubble playoff appearance and then a quick exit.

I hold out hope that they surprise us all and make a run to comfortably get into the playoffs as a 3 seed or better in their division. Assuming that doesn’t happen, I’d rather they sell off assets at the TDL, keep their lottery pick and send Lou packing.
