Agreed. New York have a great team. But the way their ownership runs things, they never develop any team chemistry, have high turnover every off-season, and spend way too much on the wrong pieces (Redden instead of Jagr leaps to mind).

not only that, but it's not easy to replace guys like : Jagr, Straka, Shanahan and Avery. Only time will tell, but i think it was a mistake... you have to build it from within, you no longer buy championships.
Rangers because of great goaltending. Marc Staal should take another step forward in his development, same with Dubinsky. Redden and Naslund could bounce back too and have some solid years.
I like the Blackhawks young talent but the furthest they can go is 1st round exit because they have Huet lol.
Chicago has the makings in the works. Next year will be too early, but i think they are gonna break their streak and leave the leafs with the longest Cup drought
