With the Draft come and gone, and first day of Free Agency with many signings and trades...where do you rank the teams in the Pacific Division?

 

Will the Canucks make the playoffs this coming year?

Injuries or lack of injuries will play a part in the Canucks' success this year...if the injuries are minimized with the new improved "D" sharing more of the load and Miller gelling with EP40 and BB6, and Baer/Horvat/Pearson line  connecting, then could be a good chance of displacing San Jose from the top 3 or becoming a wild card team...Leivo, Sutter/ Gaudette, JV line could also get more points with the better "D"...gotta believe this coming year is going to be good...even if another team shuts us down, our "D" now can shut down the other team as well.

 

Calgary has gotten softer, Vegas has lost some depth, and San Jose has lost a lot of good players, Edmonton hasn't improved, LA is still old, Anaheim is rebuilding and turning over their roster...Arizona (other than the Canucks) may be the only team to have gotten better.

i don't see us better then any of the 5 teams in the central division so our only path to the playoff is top 3.. the only team i see we have a realistic chance of catching after free agent day 1 is SJ

Calgary should make the playoffs, unless Talbot is just dreadful.

SJ is hard to tell, they still need to fill a roster.  They should be worse.

Vegas still needs to manage their roster.  They should be worse.

Arizona....with kessel who knows.  They should be around the same or some improvement.

Canucks. should be a better team than last year.

Oilers, anything is possible.  

 

Anaheim and LA both gonna suck.

Well, they look like a playoff team, but we'll see what happens when the rubber hits the road.


San Jose should be worse than last year.  Edmonton should improve.

People say Edmonton should improve every year lol

How about beating The Flames in the season series last season? 

Canucks usually have spirited games against the Flames,but for whatever reason, seem to be 'up against it' against Arizona...If the Canucks have any playoff aspirations at all, they cannot go undefeated to Arizona..No ,and, ifs ,or buts.
