1) With the Off season thankfully now behind us its off to the another full NHL season. As we have done since 2006, we at Fauxrumors will dip our own toes into the pool of predictions. Like last season there are again two divisions of 8 teams in the East, and 2 of seven teams out West. There are of course still 8 teams qualifying for the post season. To remind readers Only the top 3 finishers of each division are guaranteed a playoff berth. The remaining 2 'at large' bids could come from either division. Setting the stage for season long battles for playoff positioning, and hopefully a season's worth of top notch hockey for us fans. Once again we feel the West is by far the better conference and in fact may have even further improved from last season. Its likely a good team out West will fail to qualify for the post season
2) Without further ado, here are projected order of finish for each of the 4 divisions with projected point totals next to each team.
First The East:
1) Boston- 112
2) Tampa Bay- 110
3) Montreal- 100

7) Columbus- 94
8) Washington- 92
