How are the devils not in this spot? How are they losing to teams with better depth?

Sabres. Just horrible spending, like the old Ranger teams. If Miller could cover all of their mistakes he would have done it last season. Myers and Ennis had huge setbacks.

Ottawa is the same team that made the playoffs. NJ is less one significant player, but that hasn't hurt the team in 18 years... you can't just slot them in for a huge drop in standings because on paper it might suggest that.

Maybe Florida, some of their players had big, unexpected years. I still think they get Luongo for a song.

I think people are forgetting about how over the moon Senators fans were that they even made the playoffs. They overachieved more than the Panthers did.

Ottawa. Was between Ottawa and TB. None of Michalek, Spezza, Anderson or Karlsson will put up better numbers than this past season.

Voted NJ, but was close to picking Tampa Bay.

NJ lost their captain, has a 41 year old goalie, and an average defense. I also see Kovalchuk finishing with about 70-75 points, a slight downgrade from last year.

ill leave this open a lil while longer....2 votes separating florida and buffalo.

**Barbara Underhill** · 08-03-2012, 01:30 PM

Florida in my opinion. I think it's close but slight edge to Buffalo because of Miller.

Inferno · 08-03-2012, 02:32 PM

back and forth we go lol.

Sabres were one of the most injured teams last year and only missed by 3 points. Ennis had two separate injuries and still played great when he was healthy down the stretch. They may not be a cup contender but they're certainly a playoff team.

Miller is more of a concern than the defensive corps. Myers was the team's 4th or 5th best dman last year, far away from Sekera and Ehrhoff. Miller started so terribly last season and we never recovered. We don't have enough talent up front, too young and unproven down the middle. But we should be in the hunt for 8th
