Yes, that's my count. Downside volume has been the key clue for me this week.

Hard not to like the Avs but I find they lack depth on D and goaltending is certainly a wildcard. I suspect they'll solve the latter problem through a trade if things get ugly early.

Stars will miss Hatcher and Sydor BIG TIME. I like Numminen but you're picking him up on the downside of his career. Turco will have to be even better. I think they're still good enough to win the West but they are weaker than last year IMO. Canucks are essentially the same, which may be enough if the kids continue to develop.

Was at a pre-season game last night, ugh what stinker.
