Atlantic
1. TOR - 117
2. FLA - 105
3. OTT - 100 ( Expecting a big step forward from this young core. If the D core takes a step and stays healthy also very scary)
4. BOS - 99 (I see a big fall off with no Bergeron. Coyle as 1c doesn't exactly scream stanley cup contender, also no way ullmark repeats season)
---------------------
5. BUF - 94
6. TBL - 94 ( Hot take. But zero forward depth, If one of the injury prone kucherov, point or stamkos go down I don't see a way they make it in)
7. DET - 83
8. MTL - 66 (Somebody's gotta take the brunt of this division)
Metro
1. CAR - 120* (That D-core is Ridiculous)
2. NYR - 108
3. NJD - 103
4. PIT - 100 (Crosbys not missing the playoffs again.)
----------------------
5. NYI - 90
6. WSH - 88
7. CBJ - 69
8. PHI - 67
Central
1. DAL - 117 (stacked top 9 + Ottinger)
2. COL - 113 (Added needed forward depth)
3. MIN - 97
---------------------------
4. STL - 89
5. WPG- 88 (Expecting without Hellebuyck and/or Schiefelle) (If they keep them both I see them around 100 points and in the playoff picture)
6. NSH - 87
7. ARZ - 75
8. CHI - 65
Pacific
1. EDM - 112
2. VGK - 108
3. VAN - 100 (hot take 2.) (Pettersson dominates, Demko Vezina Nominee/winner and Hronek and Hughes play well for d core)
4. CGY - 99 (hot take 3.) (flames bounce back and silence haters. Huberdeau returns to form and the team plays well.) (markstrom also bounces back)
5. LAK - 98
------------------------
6. SEA - 94 (Goaltending is honestly so suspect)
7. SJS - 70
8. ANA - 63
Ottawa 100 points and Detroit only 83 points, You're totally delusional dude. LMFAO Ottawa loses DeBrincat and gains Tarasenko and now they're a 100 point team. Got news for you Slick? Buffalo is far better than Ottawa and the D and Goaltending are still an issue in Ottawa.
Even more funny is the dude really believing that Vancouver is going to get 100 points as well. Team is still garbage.
Your pacific is awful, no chance that la and sea aren’t top 4, I could see Boston and Florida falling further, and pens missing again. Columbus and Arizona doing some surprising, detroit a little higher. Your top 3 in central is perfect and next 3 pretty good, my crazy take is Arizona In final wildcard spot.

Ottawa has better forwards, defense, and goalies than Detroit. Those predictions aren’t that far out there
And the Canucks could push for 100 points if their top players stay healthy and their defensive acquisitions play as well as expected. 100 may be a bit of a reach but not completely unrealistic. They definitely aren’t garbage though
