15 Eastern Conference Predictions

I know that I'm a bit late on this, but here's 15 predictions for the East:

1) The Stanley Cup Champion will either be the New York Rangers or the Pittsburgh Penguins.

2) Bryzgalov will have a major bounce back year, but will still have a high GAA due to Philly's weak defense.

3) The top 5 scorers will all be from the East.

4) New Jersey and Florida will miss the playoffs.

5) Tukka Rask will challenge Henrik Lundqvist as the best goalie in the East.

6) Three teams from the Southeast will make the playoffs.

7) Rick DiPietro will play in at least 15 games.

8) Tyler Ennis will emerge as a legitimate first line scoring forward.

9) On the other hand, Cody Hodgson will struggle immensely.

10) PK Subban will hold out the longer than Benn and O'Reilly.

11) By the end of the season, the Schenn/JvR trade will look a lot less lopsided.

12) Jason Arnott will sign with Washington or New Jersey.

13) Anders Lindback will be the best goalie in the Southeast

14) Pittsburgh will find a winger for Crosby other than Dupuis and Kunitz.

15) My prediction standings:

1. PIT
2. BOS
3. TB
4. NYR
5. WSH
6. PHI
7. OTT
8. CAR
9. FLA
10. BUF
