The Central Division should be a cakewalk. The Pacific Division has one weak team in the Calgary Flames, but the rest are all on the nasty side, particularly the Los Angeles Kings, Anaheim Ducks and the Vancouver Canucks.

They are in and will almost certainly win their division.

A repeat Stanley Cup performance will be difficult, but the Blackhawks have the best chance of any team in the last 15 years.
