Nice predictions. Gotta lean towards St. Louis taking the west this year though. All around better than the Ducks, comparable to Chicago but Elliot looks better than Crawford this year, and Blackhawks are without Kane.
Elliot won’t be the Blues starter in net, and Kane will return in round one. Sorry to burst your bubble.
