Pre Season Power Ranking

[dhsux]

It's ESPN....but that's not the end of the world. (Blues were quiet...ha!)

All Central teams beside Chicago fall in top 20.....Blues behind Wild, Avs, Vegas, Jets and Dallas.

I guess they are doomed.

Love this challenge. Surprise surprise!

What insightful analysis [not].

[bluetunehead]

I mean that’s not terribly surprising. The Central looks extremely tough this year. Only Chicago (and possibly Nashville) is an easy out.

For the record… Vegas is Pacific. Utah is the additional Central team.

#14 Doesn't sound 2 far off - not that any of it means much...

I'm gonna say it first. That ranking won't get us what should be the ultimate goal of every NHL team ... a TOP 5 pick.

Rankings mean nothing. Just ignore them. I am ranked 300 out of 300 on BluesTalk, but I win the Cup every day.

BUT, have you won the jock strap in which to carry that cup?

I do like to carry the Cup around, so I use the many jock straps on the ground that were lost after I comment.

Hey Glow Stick, I call "bull" unless you have picks.

Well one thing the Wild, Stars and Jets have in common is they are chokers.

This redraft blows your top 5 is a sure thing crusade out of the water:

After 3 weeks the Stars hired back Gulutzan. Kind of an interesting hire I don't know much about him but a lot of time with the Oilers.

The division has a lot of contenders. Will Nashville get straightened out? I don't think the Avs have improved much with their moves and still waiting for the other shoe to drop on Blackwood.

All teams have their "ifs" but if the Blues can keep their trend going and 1 or 2 of the new faces produce I like their chances and a top 3 in the Central is indeed possible.

As they say, it takes one to know one.

Remember Buchnevich, the anti-Alamo?
