Who do you have making the playoffs/winning the Metropolitan Division?

Not sure to be honest. Every metro team has a solid chance to win it this coming year, so it will come down to it being very close.
The Philadelphia Flyers
I will not elaborate
If the Penguins get Karlsson, I think they’ll get win the division. I could also see Carolina being legit this year so legit that they don’t get swept in the ECF.
I say the canes and the devils will be at the top, but I’m not really sure who takes the title. Both teams have had significant offseason additions and it’s going to be a battle all season long. I don’t really see the Rangers going away, so I say they more than likely snag the third spot.
I think the pens will probably find their way back into the postseason as well. I feel like they’re more of a wild card team, but if Jarry has a comeback year and their new additions pan out they may have a shot at one of the three divisional spots.
The isles slipping into a wild card spot wouldn’t surprise me either. Doubt the caps make much noise, but they could also step it up if they stay healthy. BJ’s are questionable. Flyers are in full tank.
Canes
I think the table stays the same, Canes Devils and Rangers round out the 3, and Islanders make playoffs this year
The top is the devils and canes. The bottom is Philadelphia, Washington, and Columbus. The middle spots are anyone’s game imo
Canes and Devils are clear top 2 with Rangers likely in third. No idea how it plays out after that
NJD the victors with CAR and NYR also in. The two wild cards probably go to the Atlantic.
I’m fairly certain about the top 3, mostly certain about the Isles, the rest are gonna be fairly close I think.
I really want to see CBJ do well
Carolina NJ Pittsburgh NYR (Playoffs) Islanders CBJ Washington Philly
Please have us not be last, that’s all I expect
We’ll talk after offseason.
I feel like the Pens are gonna rebound big time and the rangers take a step back but still get a WC
I also feel like the isles take a major step back. They’re just not improving.
Canes then Penguins.
All great points from all these answers, I got to go with the Canes, even though I am a huge Devils fan. Still issues with Devils goalies is what is keeping them from the top slot.
What is the orange and black team?
Devils win the division, beat the canes by 3 points. Rangers come in third. The wildcard spots both go to the Atlantic
CANES DEVILS PITTSBURGH RANGERS ISLANDERS FLYERS JACKETS WASHINGTON
It’ll be canes and we face off in the first round but this time we win? Yea that’s what’ll happen.
The Pens of course, no bias here 😉 #LGP
Brutal. Canes, Penguins, NJ. Let’s see NJ have another very good season. Let’s see Penguins get hot in playoffs. Good luck against Carolina.
Devils, Canes, Rangers. Atlantic gets 5 teams
Fully expecting to be last and I am EXCITED for it, don’t worry CBJ fans, we’ll take your spot for this year
Rangers
Carolina
Jersey
Pittsburgh
NYR
NYI
Washington
Columbus
Philly
(I pray) the Pens are going to rebound, with that being said they somehow always come in 2nd. Honestly I can see any one of these teams winning the division, but if I had to put money on it? Rangers. They remind me of the Bruins of this past season where they have a bunch of older dudes just going all in
Carolina wins the Metro. NYR 2nd, NJ 3rd. Then NYI wild card.
Cbus and Philly are nowhere near making it. I could see Washington and Pittsburgh staying “in the mix” for a while but I think NYI will best them
Playoffs – Devils, Rangers, Penguins, Hurricanes.
Division – Rangers. I have a sense that Shesterkin is going to go off again, and Devils are going to be unexpectedly 3rd, not fighting for top spot as expected (I agree that they look amazing on paper, this is just a baseless hunch)
