Every single match-up in the West is going to be tough.
Anaheim, St. Louis, Nashville, Chicago, and San Jose are all dangerous teams.
Winnipeg might actually be the most physically intimidating team in the league now.........even moreso than LA, Boston, Nashville, and Philadelphia.
Los Angeles will likely step up and find a way to make it in.........and they are always dangerous.
As much as I hate to admit this since I'm a Canucks fan, Vancouver will likely be the only bottom seeded team that could be 'somewhat easy' to defeat in the first round. Calgary as well if they manage to sneak in.
Other than that though, each team will be tough as hell. Dallas and Minnesota won't be pushovers either if they crawl in.
