Probably not a good sign for the Devils. Morganti is usually pretty brutal when it comes to predictions; although by the looks of it he didn't exactly go out on a limb with any of his choices.

Talk about conservative. How about Melrose - NY Rangers to win the East.

Morganti picked the Kings last year........hopefully we fare a bit better than they did. As for the ESPN 'experts'.......their best guess is as good as ours. E.J. Hradek had a nice summarizing line to his season predictions, something to the effect of "Then again, I did pick the Sharks to win it all last year."
But as rosters stand at the moment, my pick remains Ottawa.....although if they don't sign Havlat, that would make me second guess that pick.
