They stayed in the race last year besides injuries. I think they got a shot.

They did better than the nucks is for sure...but I doubt they'll win the North west...especially with the Ave's and Wild getting better.

WIld seem to eb at a stall , they moved sideways if you as me. I juts think Edmonton can be a sleeper they are a young team kinda like Montreal was last year.
the canucs seem to be the weaklink in that divsion. As far as the avs i dont know i like there team but there goalie situation is bad and there defense is not too scary physicaly. Good puck movers tho. Avs will score a lot. Calgary looks to be a tuff team.

They're only problem is that they cant score, and I think they've improved on that... Bernier looks like he'll fit in nicely with the Sedins and Demitra replaces Naslund.. and now that Sundin is gonna end up somewhere else, we've got 10 million to spend during the year to pick up another couple people.. but its always been a tough division.. we'll have to see how the season plays out
Yeah, O-lines are flabby and sick rite now.. Better have sumthing soon.
