In my opinion
Edmonton best team in the pacific division
Toronto best team in the Atlantic division
Carolina best team in the Metro division
Colorado best team in the Central division

There's no way Boston is a lock.

Tampa is a playoff lock not a contender
Rangers prob more like playoff lock
Boston isn’t a lock

None of the "lock" teams are locks. I'd give them >50%, but not 100%.

I would take out the lock section, make it into a playoff bubble section and add more teams

Vegas is returning pretty much the same Cup winning team. How are they not favourites? Dallas should be in there too. I'd rate them over Toronto and Edmonton.

Fair enough on Vegas but why do you have Dallas over edmonton or Toronto

Dallas got to the WCF. Oettinger in net. Stud Heiskanen on D. Deep forward lines with balanced scoring. They are a good D away from winning a Cup in my opinion. I was surprised Jimmy Nill didn't buyout Suter. He's clearly done.

Young Wyatt Smith is another Young C I like. BCAPP did an over rated and under rated players list. Roope Hintz should be on the under rated list.

Stars are better balanced than Toronto or Edmonton in my opinion. When talking F, D and G. I really like Dallas's Cup chances next season.

fair enough but Edmonton has the 2 best players in the world right now and they are surrounded by Kane Hyman Brown Nuge Ekholm Nurse Bouchard McLeod Edmonton is also imo a defensemen away from being a powerhouse. And I think most people would agree edmonton is the most top heavy team in the league

Yes Oilers definitely have the star power in McDavid and Draisaitl. I just think Dallas is better built for playoff hockey. More balanced. Same as Vegas. I'd probably rate Edmonton and Toronto higher for regular season Hockey.

Sorry I must have misunderstood, I thought lock meant lock.

Depends on who you ask!
