Dang Toronto always overpays lol. Better get past first round. Good for the Blues accumulate picks on a deep draft.

Good for them. As for the Avs we will be lucky if Landeskog will even suit up for the playoffs.

Should have LTIRd him this season. Oh we play Blues today without ROR.

Blues looked totally flat. Great start today for Annunen!

Still unsure when he will be back though...They are talking about using LTIR for EJ and maybe Landy also. Meanwhile the arms race going on in the East will be a bloodbath in the playoffs. Kane on the way to the Rangers?

Yeah Timo Meier is the rumor. TWO 1st round picks. I'm down as long as it isn't OUR 1st round pick. Have picks from the Rangers (Tarasenko) and Leafs (O'Reilly).

Still need help on defense though. Binnington has been getting f**ked. The D is SOOOOO bad.

Kane may be headed to the Rangers.

Well, Timo to NJ and I'm surprised with the return SJ got. Hey, if he doesn't get a new contract from the Devils they will sell him in the off season.

Yup. Teams are doing some touches and move salary from what I read. East is so loaded and should be fun once playoffs starts with Meier going to the NJ and Jeannot to TB. That's an underrated trade by the Bolts. Hey , we got JJ back. Mcdermid got concussed from the Lucic tilt. Ouch.
Edit: wow, on what the Bolts gave for Jeannot trade. But their 3rd line will grind teams in the playoffs.

Kane to Rangers is official.

Going to be a lot of disappointed East teams

Kings traded Quick to the Blue Jackets. Wow.

Yeah, some of these teams loaded up and really change their team. I'd like to see how quickly they jell together before the playoffs. NJ,NYR,Toronto,Boston,TB,Car. Its going to be crazy playoffs. Nothing is easy and they will beat each other up every round. Meanwhile its the Avs, Dallas and VGK are pretty much the big dogs in the West.

Then he goes to Vegas... who the Kings might meet in the first round maybe.

I'm pumped for playoffs. Really hope we get an LA matchup so I can catch games live

honestly Dallas looks like a legit contender, no homer. 3 pretty solid forward lines. One of top goalies in west. Don't really like our D though outside Miro…..maybe we just play him 40 minutes per game in playoffs

suter, lindel, Miller…..yuck.

lundqvist and hanapaa are great for their roles as 5/6 D

Yeah, Dallas looks great and they smack around the Avs last Saturday. Your team is one of the rugged teams that gave the Avs trouble before. What is it with Pavelski getting in a slump and then score vs Colorado lol. If Landeskog and our 2 big D (Manson and Eric Johnson) can't get healthy, we'll be one and done in the playoffs.

I'd rank betting favorites in west as:
1. Colorado
2. Dallas
3. vegas
4. Minny
5. Edmonton
6. Winnipeg
7. LA
8. Calgary
9. seattle
