I could fill this area with my own predictions about the upcoming season - which is admittedly difficult given the new landscape of the NHL - but I've decided to post a link to John Buccigross' recent article instead. I personally enjoy Buccigross. He's funny, knowledgable and passionate about hockey. I suggest you check out his stuff which appears regularly at www.espn.com.
Anywho, here's the article (oh...and just guess who he thinks is the favorite to win the west...) :
