If Buffalo offers the most money, I could see him going there. They will have Eichel + Reinhart, which is a real nice duo down the middle.

I doubt he stays at DET. STL is our only real threat, but i'd rather be part of the Sabres future than the Blues. Unless they get some amazing pieces via trade this off season, we are looking like the next Tampa Bay.

If Rangers won't win then I'll root for Ducks because then I've played against a Stanley Cup champion 
St. Louis has a good team though it's just hitchcock doesn't know how to handle a team with so much quality players in the playoffs. Babcock could definitely make that team into a real cup contender for years with the roster they have. Because quite frankly I see nothing wrong with that team besides the way they were coached.
As for my predictions:
Habs in 6
Capitals in 7
Wild in 7
Ducks in 5

If Tarasenko didn't become an elite goal scorer this season and Steen last, where would they be?

I agree, not a fan of Hitchcock. dude is 90's style hockey.
Never used the skill and speed of the Blues

Exactly, if they had breakout speed like Montreal does (albeit they don't score). It would deadly.

@ Sys Riff did you see Babcock's post-game press con? ...no way he is staying there in Detroit.. be very surprised if he did.
Anyhoo, wow what a finish to the Rangers / Caps game. Thought it was deserving for the Caps. Rangers were way to passive and soft for imo most of this game.
Also, if Ovechkin played his whole career the way he is playing now and in these playoffs... wow! Sure his goal production wouldve probably suffered a bit but he would easily be the most dominant complete player the likes the NHL has ever seen.

The Hawks are too easy to score on. Even Nashville was regularly getting 3+ goals on the board. I think they can get out of this round in 7, but the Ducks are going to light them up.
If you're implying that the disallowed goal was a good goal you're a dumbass. Price made the initial save and Kutcherov pushed his right pad into the net, preventing him from keeping his pad against the post to keep the puck out. The call was the right one.
And I think it's the other way around. Tampa is lucky it went to OT, because Ben Bishop saved their ass, Montreal could of easily been up 4-0 in the first. Montreal dominated the majority of the game.
