1) Calgary Flames Buzz: They got tougher in the offseason and have legitimate Norris (Phaneuf), Vezina (Kipprusoff), and Hart (Iginla) candidates . That has to help your chances - even with Mike Keenan.
Significant Roster move(s): lost Huselius, Nolan and Tanguay. Added Bertuzzi, Bourque, and Cammalleri.
Outlook: all the elements appear to be there, but like a golf cart driven by Chub and E5 the road will come to an abrupt end.
2) Edmonton Oilers
Buzz: Huh? So much speed and young talent they remind you of a strip bar in the rust belt.
Significant Roster moves: lost Pitkanen, Stoll and Torres. Added Brule, Cole and Visnovsky.
Outlook: This team can still play more scared than that guy on the ice looking up at "the Ditka teabag" - but I am gambling on a playoff spot.

3) Colorado Avalanche
Buzz: Huh? Picked by many for 14th in the Division, we say # 8 seed. They have 3 lines that can score, the defense is decent, and Budaj will be fine if the D plays OK.
Significant roster moves: Rid themselves of Joe Ted, messed up by losing Brunette, and lost Sauer and Finger. Added a crap-festival from Toronto.
Outlook: they will likely score like Daniel in a casino bathroom stall – fast and furious but no hope for long term payoff.
4) Minnesota Wild
Buzz: Defending Division champs, but Jacque Lemaire's style is a snoozer. The team from the alleged "State of Hockey" should have some signing-Gaborik and scoring-goals issues.
Significant Roster moves: Lost Demitra, Nolan, Rolston. Added Brunette, Bergeron, and Zidlicky.
Outlook?: kind of like watching Bill and Joe skate, it drags on and does not excite you. Here's hoping they miss the playoffs.

5) Vancouver Canucks
Buzz: Sure they have the best goalie, but who is going to score goals?
Significant roster moves: lost Naslund and Morrison. Added Bernier, Demitra, and Wellwood.
Outlook: Their offseason roster moves look more confused than Anthony when he "accidentally" stumbles upon one of those "curious" websites!

If by "accidentally" you mean when you send me the link and title it, "Really hot girl with huge (.)(.)" then yea I "accidentally" find it...It's ok that you like Eric Estrada as "more than a friend" but don't drag me into your homoerotic fantasies.
