The fact I'm doing this again might seem odd, given how unequivocally wrong I was last year, but it was fun, so shut up.
This year, I'm picking the hard-working, dynamic, pretty much completely awesome St. Louis Blues to win the West, while I have the Senators as the surprise Eastern finalist. Ooooo. What? So I like my darkhorses. So sue me.
As usual, I'm operating under the incorrect assumption that the trade deadline effectively doesn't exist. For example, I won't have Jay Bouwmeester lining up for the Blues simply because I think the Blues and Flames would be good trade partners. You know, just to pick a name and team right off the top of my head, for no reason.
