I don't get the hype on Tampa this year as a playoff lock. They got worse in this offseason, and they weren't all that great last year. Really, the only playoff lock in the East is the Bruins, and they got a lot worse this offseason too. The Pens are close to a lock, but their defense is paper thin now (especially if Matta is out) and they are one Crosby injury away from being in deep doggy poo, and Crosby is not the most healthy of players.

Tampa is going to have to offload some of their talent as well. But, Stamkos has flow, so............
Looking at HF site though they do have a lot of good young prospects. Because you can totally ride a bunch of 19-24 year olds to the cup, I mean just look at Edmonton!

Disagree they got worse. Added Stralman, Boyle and Morrow (not that those are great players, but they're all solid) and really only lost an aging Salo. Plus they have a healthy Stamkos after he missed more than half the season. They still have to make some moves to get under the cap, so that could change things, but I'd be very surprised if they missed.

The Metro is probably the craziest division in hockey. Really nothing would surprise me except the Pens missing the playoffs and the Hurricanes making it. Any of the other six teams making/missing the playoffs and the order of finish wouldn't shock me at all, including Pittsburgh not winning the division and Carolina getting up to fifth or sixth in the division.
