FLA: With a Hart winning season from Barkov and strong Norris contention from a healthy Ekblad. One of their goaltenders will be good enough to lead them to #1 ahead of Tampa
TB: Lost their "identity" but not really their core high-end talent. Any team with Andrei Vasilevskiy, Victor Hedman, and Nikita Kucherov will finish well.
BOS: Not entirely sold on Ullmark/Swayman, but they're still a really good team
TOR: Lots of high-end talent, but Mrazek will not have a good season with pressure in Toronto. Hopefully for them Jack Campbell can play well
Top 4 are way above bottom 4
MTL: Decent at everything, but not having god-mode Carey Price stops them from being in the top 4
DET: Something is building here, but it's not quite built. If Nedeljkovic can recapture his 2020-21 regular season form, they could challenge for playoffs, but I find that unlikely
OTT: Similar situation to Detroit, but they're closer to the start of their building process.
BUF: #BadforBrad or #SuckforShane? With the new, more tank-friendly lottery rules, they can guarantee one of Wright, Lambert, or Savoie (assuming that's still the top 3) by finishing 32nd
