I don't think it's too far fetched to say we could compete for the division. I think our line-up's improved drastically over last year. The difference three players will make is huge (Ferland, Myers, and Miller). I felt like last year it was hard to justify our top-6. We were basically filling it winger positions with bottom 6 forwards. Especially when you think about Horvat's line. Now, we've picked up 2 players who are in my opinion sure-fire top-6 guys in Miller and Ferland. All of the sudden, you have third line players (Beagle, Roussel, Pearson, Virtanen) playing on the third line, without the pressure and responsibilities of the second-line. Then when injuries hit (and they will hit) you have some backup.
I think having those improvements allows us to compete with Calgary and Edmonton. I think San Jose will be good but not great. Vegas will decline, Az could do a bit of damage, but I think we're the better team Overall. LA, Ana will be bottom feeders. I think it'll be very close by the end of the season between Calgary, Edm, SJ, Vegas and the Canucks.
