Although Chicago lost some depth, they have good young talent (as you mentioned) ready to go and they still have their top 4 defensemen and top 6 forwards. Now you add Turco who won't have to win any games- just not lose too many and I think the division is still theirs.
LA is dangerous and have some pretty impressive players. My gut says they will overtake San Jose. Niemi is good but the outstanding defense of Chicago made his numbers more impressive than he is.
And Anaheim is not the 3rd worst team in the West and if they pick up a good defensman. . . Bieksa perhaps?. . . look for them to sneak into the playoffs.
I dont think Calgary is going to be any good but when you play Edmonton 8 times and Minny 8 times you are bound to have a good record.
