I have seen several Toronto games and they have Phil Kessel a the leages top scorer and and point guy by a lot. They never seem spectacular, but I think they will make the playoffs.
Edmonton was the worst team last year and as far as I know the only added the great rookie Ryan Nugent -Hopkins who undoubtobly will win rookie of the year. Other than that they only added Ryan Smith their old but rough and tough well rounded forward. They play a good defensive game and have had great goaltending so they could keep it up. If Vancouver does not improve and Colrado does not stay consistantly above average than I can see them making the playoffs. Edmonton finishing # 1 in the Northwestern division still seems like a joke to me.
Of course, as I have said in the thread teams bounce around every year in who plays hot because of too much parity. I predict Toronto to be the better team in the end.
