I know I am being a homer but I said Ottawa for a couple of reasons

1) Their play near the end of the year was excellent partly because of new Coach Cory Clouston

2) Pasquil Leclaire This guy has been great as long as he's healthy so as long as he can stay healthy the Sens are looking good. Also Alex Auld is a pretty good backup goalie

3) No losses or very few anyway with Neil and Comrie the only U.F.A's and Comrie looking like he will resign the Sens have no problems with losing players for nothing.

With their defence, LA is only a year or two from challenging for the Cup, in my opinion.

Well - Ottawa is up there, as is LA in the west. I can't see TB going much farther upward, as it looks very certain that they will attempt to move Lecavalier or St.Louis before or during next season, and they are looking to build around Stamkos now. Colorado . . . well, they had a ton of injuries, but a few of the important pieces (Sakic, Hejduk, Smyth) are either on the way out, or petering out in value. I can see them better, but not that much better.

I voted LA, but now when I think about how competetive the west is, it's probably pretty safe to say Ottawa.
