Clearly one of the safe bets would be to pick Vegas and the Panthers again, but I would like to hear other matchups you think might happen.
#If you had to pick now, who would you pick to be in the final next year and why.
languid locust
I would pick Seattle and New Jersey, both teams have made good moves over the past year and I think they could go somewhere quick.
scarlet seal
edmonton and the rangers
edmonton bc of McDavid and drain obviously but their defense has gotten better and there's no way Campbell will be as bad as he was this year
rags because I look at their roster and I don't see a weak spot honestly. good forwards, good defense, elite goalie
loud dust
Maybe not next year but I think New Jersey is headed in a good direction.
latent kestrel
New York because i need them to.
New Jersey is going to mature in to a huge threat sometime soon if not already.
I’d like to see Mcdavid win a cup.
lapis sky
I would also like mcdavid to win a cup. not on edmonton though.
velvet sun
Edmonton vs Carolina is my pick.
queen sedge
New Jersey/Edmonton, although the West is a crapshoot
lofty cradle
I had Edmonton/New Jersey this year so I'll roll with it for next year since the Habs will still be bad. It's funny to think if Yak wasn't a bust & they kept Hall that there would be 6 first overall picks in that cup final.
vivid sinew
Lightning/Avalanche both teams are going to be rested as well as "healthier" (besides Landy) which means they'll assume their rightful spots contending again.
toxic forge
Stars-Canes
slate vigil
Bruins and I don't care who else as long as the bruins win
