Northwest is gonna be tougher to win this season.
All the teams have improved except for Calgary. They'll probably finish last in the division.

^^ Did we really improve?
Sedin-Sedin-Burrows
Higgins-Kesler-Booth
???-Lapierre-Hansen
???-Malholtra-Kassian
Hamhuis-Bieksa
Edler-Garrison
Ballard-Tanev
Schneider
Luongo
IMO Cancuks will win the division but I think it all depends on who Luongo will bring back to be good enough to challenge for the cup.

Okay.. don't kid yourselves guys... we're nearly the same team as last season.. lol
Maybe when Lu gets moved or we get another top 6 or impact forward.

Yup, we need a top 6 and a solid 3rd centre, a la malhotra before the freak accident

lol, Canucks haven't gotten any better. Thinking otherwise is just homerism talk.
Garrison replaced Salo. Maybe a slight upgrade. That's pretty much it.
I assume Kassian's still going to be a 3rd/4th liner this season.
I wish Luongo can get us back an impact player, but more probable that we're going to end up getting some top 6 player like
Booth or Higgens, and few other assets... which I personally don't think it will do anything. I think we need an actual elite player for the final push.

Can't wait to see what Schroeder can do. The opportunity is there with Kesler injured.
Our young guys need to step up. I'd love to see a rookie line of Jensen-Schroeder-Kassian but that'd never happen with AV coaching...

Jensen might get a shot, he was the last cut last year and has only gotten better. He's either playing with the Canucks or in Sweden so he should challenge for a spot.

what's all this hype about Jensen? he looked decent in his pre-season stint with us, but imo, corrado impressed me more. Also, Jensen was barely a PPG player in the OHL this year.
CDC hypes him up to be the next great powerforward.

I'm more happy about Detroit not picking up anyone big so far. I'm really surprised as well

I actually like how TBay is looking. When healthy i believe they are one of the top teams. Scoring isnt the issue with them. It was there goals against, by adding Carle and Salo it will help them drasticaly. Im just not sold on there Goaltending just yet. Time will tell.

What's TB's depth looking like?
Lecav is clearly dogging it and St. Louis can't be Selanne 2.0 forever.

Parise would be the best example as he's only been over a PPG player twice in his career, and his career average is roughly .8 PPG. I've yet to really see Jensen do his thing, but it could be the intangibles he brings. Holmstrom and Franzen aren't PPG players, but it's what they do infront of the net that makes them valuable to their teams.

TB is all in on Lindback as their starter. You don't make a trade like that if you aren't counting on that guy being the starting goalie.

^ yep, and they loading up the D to give him every chance to succeed, the rest is up to lindback to give them 50-60 solid starts, if they can get that, tampa is at the very least a playoff team.
