While putting together our Yearbook, THN staffers gathered to debate (or shout out) where we thought each team would end up this season. We ranked each division slot and also picked who we thought would represent each conference in the Stanley Cup final and who would win it.

While putting together our Yearbook, THN staffers gathered to debate (or shout out) where we thought each team would end up this season. We ranked each division slot and also picked who we thought would represent each conference in the Stanley Cup final and who would win it.
