juxtaposition?
If we're talking about pressure.
The Golden Knights are the defending champions and they are wild card right now.
So that's double pressure.
4pts behind the Predators and 6pts ahead of the Blues, so they only got to worry about St-Louis.
Everything can go right or wrong in the last 10 games. Then everything is possible in the post-season.
I think Vegas will make the playoffs over St-Louis, because the Golden Knights are a powerhouse.
If Vegas makes the playoffs, winning the SC is a MUST.
They're getting older, their window is shorter like 3 years at most, if not shorter.
Whereas Edmonton have a 5 year window or more, because they've got McDavid.
The pressure for the Oilers comes from the fact that they've got the best player in the league.
Other than that, they're performing well, so it's not really a must win until they at least get to the finals.
Toronto's window is about the same as Edmonton's, it was a 7 year window 2 years ago, now probably a 5.
A lot of things change in 5 years. The Leafs' pressure also comes from the drought and the media in Toronto.
I know it wasn't a criteria, but I had to consider it at least a little, so for that reason the Leafs need to win the cup more than the Oilers.
Boston are always going to be up there no matter what. The Bruins are one of the franchises with the best management.
It's also a must for the Bruins to win the cup every time they make the playoffs, like the Habs back in the day.
So the pressure for Boston is off the charts, just like it is for Vegas, but for different reasons.
Vegas needs to win bc they're getting old they've won last year and they could miss the playoffs if they don't get in the back door.
Whereas the Bruins need to win because they are at the top again, like last year, and they do have to avenge themselves like you said.
That on top of a need to win every time you make the playoffs is because they have high expectations.
For that reason, I am putting Boston ahead of Vegas, but then again, Boston's window is bigger.. I guess we'll see.
I think my top 16 would look like this:
16- Washington (although they won't make the playoffs next year, and they're heading for a fall soon)
15- Philadelphia (they don't need to win, they need to perform well to get confidence for next year)
14- Los Angeles
13- Edmonton
12- Carolina
11- Nashville
10- Vancouver
9- Colorado
8- Tampa Bay
7- NY Rangers
6- Toronto
5- Boston
4- Florida
3- Vegas
2- Winnipeg (they're window is a bit bigger than Dallas who's going to drop first, at least the Stars got more young guns)
1- Dallas (they won't be able to stay on top once they lose Pavelski, Seguin, Benn)
Carolina needs a cup way more then the panthers do. Thats coming from a panther fan. Yeah I would kill for a cup but carolina needs one to keep themselves from being called the conference final leafs. Meaning out in the conference finals every year.
dude i heard the comment about k'andre, boy do i have a story for you. i went to the game in pittsburgh on st paddy's day weekend and i was holding up my miller jersey to the boards, he comes around and taps the glass and when warmies ended he gives me his stick. awesome moment right there
@@LJMAC10 Holy cow, that is awesome! Love to see players acknowledge the fans like that 🙌
I like to see teams win that have never won a cup. So to me Canucks, Preds, Jets, Panthers. This is as of the teams in playoff spots now without cup wins.
Preds too
@nicke5056 they are on my list check it once again. I got you man.
Canuck fans have suffered the longest (53 years). They have sold out for decades have have got nothing.
@nobuddy2012 would love to see them win it all. I'm a Preds fan but Canucks taking it would make me happy.
Florida panthers to
Toronto need it the most, but they aren’t getting it with the template they are running with.
Last year was the best chance they’ll get with this group. Tavares has been good this year but is slowing down. Marner needs a new deal soon on top of what Matthews and Nylander are getting. It’s going to be extremely hard to put a balanced roster around your core like that.
as a ranger fan i need it more than i need air
Fr
I agree I want one so bad, it’s literally 30 years since we on in 1994 and 10 years since they almost won in 2014… IT’S TIME
Same.
WE WANT THE FUCKIN CUP
@@ABEdits7and before that, 1940 😂
A Canadian 🇨🇦 Team needs this the most... since 1993 the pressure is on! With teams like Edmonton, Vancouver, Toronto and Winnipeg having great seasons why not???
Looking below the boarder...
I'd say the Rangers followed by Dallas. Could be the Finals ...
If we are looking for the next
Dynasty... It's Colorado.
You don’t need a Stanley cup, Don’t let anybody pressure you. Ask The Wild 😆
I see it very different.
Need it the most: Teams like EDM, Canes, Leafs, maybe Bruins.
Take the Oilers - they have Draisaitl on one of the best deals in the league. They have the best player. What if they can`t get it done another year?
There will be a point where they have to blow it up, Nurse is overpaid, Campbells contract is already a problem, Kane can drop at any point now.
Draisaitl is UFA after next season, MCD has one more year.
If they fail again, Drai might be out and things might fall apart quickly.
Canes have the issue that they have been a good team but never made it deep into the postseason. What if they fail again? Do you restructure the team?
Same for the Bruins. 2nd regular season they play great, but what if you`re ending in the same way as last year?
Add the Leafs - how many times do you want to try till you conclude with this structure you won`t win?
The Jets and Nucks have a great year, Jets might be able to resign Dillon or Melo, and then they can just try again next year. Same for the Nucks - the core is signed, quiet young. They can try again, with a bit a different D.
Agree with you the most on this one
The canes can be had n, Boston too..... J.M.O.
The hurricanes made the conference final last year
Canucks need a cup
I'm just gonna say it, not the bruins 😂
Edmonton needs it the most I highly doubt that mcdavid or draisaitl will be resigning if they don’t succeed
Lets be real, the Sharks need it the most. 2025 Cup Final - Columbus vs San Jose, Sharks win it in 7 games
A banger of a take. Heck, call them co-champions and I'll rejoice 👍
Before watching, Canucks
I'm not as sure the canucks will be in the playoffs. They have ten games left. It's not totally crazy to think they might lose all ten games and be shut out of the playoffs.
@@EinSofQuester I will finally stop being a fan of the Canucks if that happens
@@EinSofQuester Actually it is totally crazy, that or you just aren't very bright.
@@Swag-Juice I'm actually probably brighter than you. I don't know you, so you might be a genius, but statistically, I'm probably a lot brighter than you..
@@EinSofQuesterthey would have to lose every game and the blues would have to win every game.
I see the caps being better next year. Ovi won't decline with his playstyle anytime soon and they will get more pieces to add to a young defense. Aside from maybe oshie no older guys are in risk of decline that could affect them
The answer is painfully obvious, Vancouver has won a Stanley Cup but the Canucks have never. We need this!!
Millionaires right?
@@MrManfly Billionnaires in today's dollar when you factor in inflation.
Same with Winnipeg, Manitoba Victorians was the name (I think) I remember seeing the banners as a kid in the old Jets barn, it was early 1900's and I don't think the NHL existed yet
The oilers with Connor and Leon, and it’s been since 1990
Time is really of the essence for Edmonton.
To me it's the NYR because it been 10 years since their last cup appearance 30 since winning the cup so the time is now
Yea this guy is smoking
I get that as a Rangers fan, but he did say in the beginning that he wasn't basing it on cup droughts.
@@henrylivingston7712Adding to your point, if it was based off of Stanley Cup droughts, Toronto would be at the top of that list with Vancouver & Buffalo being tied for second...
I stand by my comments because this team is ready to win now with the weapons they have plus a goalie at nights can steal a game so this franchise is ready to win it
I grew up in Pennsylvania so obviously I’m big on Philly teams. My father has season tickets to the flyers so I go to a bunch of games a year. At a game my dad told me there’s a team with a shark in the logo bitting down on a hockey stick. I immediately fell in love with the team and this was when they were in there prime. Other than the flyers if the stars win it I’ll be happy that Pavs won something.
As a Tampa fan, completely agree that we need help on defense. With Hedman on the way out in the near future, Sergachev is gonna be taking the reins. Our defensive depth hasn’t been nearly as good since we lost Ryan McDonagh and Jan Rutta (Rutta was a perfect partner for Hedman) and have seen guys like Perbix regress this season.
I need the stars or canes to win pavs or burnzie a cup before they retire 😢 🦈
Lets Go Stars!!!!
Let's go Stars !!!! ✨
i think dallas has the better chance there pavs is an extremely useful part of the stars core since he came to dallas. he doesnt shrink and benns even having a hellauva nice revival
@@36inc Carolina has a defense and goaltending tandem that could win a cup though
i think Marchand, after 2013, 2019, and 2023, probably wants (needs) it the most, i think if he won it as captain it would improve some of the optics on him.
No it wouldn't, doesn't matter what he does, he'll always be remembered for licking a guys face like how Avery is know for his screening antics in front of Brodeur
New pfp threw me off!! Good to see the channel growing mane
Thank you!
Im a oilers fan but honestly canucks need it the most
Just please for Vancouver's sake DO NOT make it to the finals and game 7 blow it. Last time that happened, Vancouver burned to the damn ground lmao
Nah they’ve had 50 years to do it, if they wanted it they would’ve gotten it by now
@@DankSandwich But NHL never gave them a 1st overall pick like other NHL teams do
Gonna be another Florida/Colorado cup.
You love to see it
That would be awesome
I hope so!!
NASHVILLE..... THEYr not my team BUT they've been around for a while now & Have the talent/ experience
Philly 🙏 FLYERS
Why does bro look like a mix of Jordan staal and Michael bunting
Lol I get Staal a lot, but Bunting's a new one 😆
The Florida teams should have an advantage over many others in free agency, especially over the Canadian teams. Tkachuk is a prime example of this. They keep more of their money in Florida. Seems like Mathews wants out of Canada, and I'm sure many others feel the same.
^ You make a good point. Other markets like Nashville and Vegas can be favorable for free agents, too.
Buying out Duchene is going to hurt the Preds for a bit
Bro looks like Jordan Staal no? Great Vid
Thanks dude that hurts me since 2011
i really hope we have an oilers canucks second round because im an oilers fan but my brother and dad are vancouver fans so itll be really interesting with our family rivalries
I do appreciate how objective you are with this list.
Now me? I’m sure you’ll notice a pattern with who I’m cheering for to win the cup this year.
Out of everyone we’re expecting to see go, I have my heart set on wanting one of the following
Canucks (Haven’t won yet)
Jets (Dillon)
Lightning (Duclair)
Stars (Pavelski)
Hurricanes (Burns)
Nasheville (U2)
Now I’m not betting on any one of them to win. I’m just laying out who I want to win. Realistically, I’m too much of a homer to truly have an objective grasp on who has the best shot right now and why and am trying to expand my mindset to be able to properly see entire nhl landscape
Flyers have almost no shot but we’re coming up on 50 years of futility! We should have had a 3 peat if not Bernie getting injured in 76. We got screw in 1980 because Leon Stickle was blind and we had the misfortune of running into the Oilers twice, and the Redwings and Blackhawk dynasties.
The only thing for my Vancouver Canucks needs a Stanley cup in June plus they can get there first ever Stanley cup for the franchise and to end are Canadian Stanley cup drought since 1993
I'd rank the Rangers higher only because I am a fan but people forget they're really only into the third year of finishing the rebuild with the current core. They still have some layovers from the last core but for the most part they are still a young team.
as a panthers and predators fan, both of my teams need a cup bad man
This didn’t age well.
A lot of people in the comments misunderstand didnt listen to the premise of the video😂 The vid is ranking how quickly every teams' window is closing, & how badly they need to capitalize on this year.
This is not about how important a cup would be to the fans or the franchise.
Don't sleep on the Rangers.... They seem more focused plus; have the determination needed under coach Peter Lav. They are more physical and, won't get pushed around.... L.G.R.!!!!! 😮😮😮😂 Just subscribed......
Thank you! They've had some impressive wins against teams like the Panthers and Hurricanes since the trade deadline. I didn't like how they matched up against the Devils last year, but I think they're deadlier this time.
@@TwistedWristerHockey Thanks.. If the Rangers get Lindgren, Gus the Bus and; The Trouba Train the physiologically would be much needed yet; if the stay outta the sin-bin/penalty box they won't be like last year..... L.G.R.!!!!!
Basically, every Canadian team in the league has real stake in getting the cup. I'm a Canucks fan, but even I'll admit that Edmonton and Toronto NEED that cup just as desperately, to more or less justify all the time, money, and faith that's been invested in those players. Mathews and McDavid deserve to have it... but damn, I need Vancouver to get theirs. It's overdue.
Oil before their two stars go to waste and leave.
They'll need someone to come out of nowhere and almost take over a series like Devonte Smith Pelley back in 2018.
@@TwistedWristerHockeyConnor brown 👀
Caps legend@@TwistedWristerHockey
Next year Edm is the undisputed #1 of this list and it’s not close. This year top 3 fits
@@picklenik9658The Rangers may have something to say about that...L.G.R.!!!!!
Florida "it might now be their time. Also Winnipeg they have been around for a long time a had some good teams in the 80's and may of won one if it wasn't for Gretzky and the Oilers.
The one who need it more the Maple Leafs last victory (1967) 57 years ago. The more opportunity where missed the more year are added on the Stanley cup Drought. Seconds are Vancouver and Buffalo. The team who need left the Vegas Golden Knight and Colorado Avalanches. Just won 2 years ago and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
he said it wasn't based off drought.
Before watching, Rangers. Young roster but 100 years of hockey with 4 chips 😅. Been 30 years since we won last and 20 years of coming up short.
Yea, that's really it lot of history as a team, only 4 chips in a century, and had to deal with long cup droughts I mean f** me
1 cup in the last 82 years
That's longer than most of these damn teams have existed
Im gonna say as a biased Avalanche fan the Avs should be higher on this list. Maybe in the 5-7 range. Yes they won the cup a few years ago and they will have their core of super stars for several more years, but they have now been one of the cup favorites for about 5 years in a row. Its been long enough run that 1 cup could start to be considered a bit of a disappointment.
Winnipeg is a Canadian small market team. It must be good for the NHL to have them get a cup.
Definitely the Panthers. We desperately need a cup so that other teams' bums can stop saying "hurr durr no cup".
But when speaking from a team perspective, the Panthers almost got their hands on the Stanley Cup last time, if it weren't for so many injuries. Barkov is still in his prime, Tkachuk has been an amazing alternate and an overall key piece, OEL and Mikkola have been amazing additions, Reinhart is on an absolute heater (who'd guess he would ever score more than 50 goals?), Forsling is one of the best D-men on the league and Bobrovsky is still amazing (fell off a few games ago but I still believe he's got it in him) and Stolarz is an underrated brick wall, currently with a .945 Sv%. Some people are starting to question the additions from the trade deadline, saying it "broke the chemistry", but I believe Tarasenko will perform well, Bjornföt seems like a solid D-man. Okposo is the only doubt I have.
Panthers or the Predators. If they both make the Stanley Cup Finals, it will be "clash of the gnashing jungle beasts"......Dumb title, I know. 😅
Or just the clash of the cats
@@andrewzelitt Yeah, that's better. Just keep it simple.👌 Aside from the both of them being Cats, do you know what else they have in common? They'll both be fighting for their first ever Stanley Cup.
Canucks 100% 53 years never won one. 😢
leafs are at 57
If i'm going off of who I think has the best shot at winning. I'd probably put my money on a Oilers and Panthers final. And as much as i'd like to see McJesus win. I think the Panthers are gonna be a tough team to beat in a playoff format
LOL, Oilers in the finals hahaha
As an Oil fan, I’ve accepted it this finals matchup does happen the oil will lose in 4 or 5 games. Something about florida is Edmontons kryptonite.
@@EinSofQuesterbro doesnt understand that any team can win. DID YOU EXPECT THE HABS IN THE 2021 FINALS?
DID ANYONE EXPECT THE PANTHERS IN THE 2023 FINALS???
yeah i expected the panthers. i just didnt know if they would get to it that year. i just wasnt as surprised @@milanek1527
There is no chance the Panthers get back to the finals. They peaked at the wrong time and look like garbage right now. The Golden Knights exposed how to beat them in the playoffs and that’s to just beat the shit out of them. A bunch of cry baby wanna be bullies on that team. Any physical team in the playoffs will clear them out for sure
Dallas is a team I wouldn't sit on. They have the playoff experience and Otter getting some rest this season feel come late April he will be locked in. Just feel it's just a matter of time before we see that team host a cup. Forgot Rope Hintz in that discussion, Mason March he is a beast on the ice, Ty dell he doesn't ever take a shift off kid works harder or as hard as any player, Tanev is starting to feel comfortable, Radak Faska man he is a presence on the ice, just feel all the pieces are there. Dallas Stars 2024!!
didn't the stars just shutout 5-0 the oilers?
I think Vegas is way too high if you look at their positional groups they really only have about 2-3 guys who are over 30 in each positional group
And as we know the reason why Vegas continues to play at a high level is not simply just because of the main core it’s because of younger guys like Dorofeyev,Cotter,Kolesar,Hague etc playing well in there roles and providing much needed depth
And Vegas will continue to find gems like these guys
I think Marchessault and Hanifin likely both get extended while Martinez,Carrier and Stephenson get handed there walking papers I think Hertl likely replaces Stephenson they have plenty of young defensemen depth with guys like Lukas Cormier to replace Martinez
And we still have guys like Hague and Mcnabb to replicate that physical presence of Carrier
And Mantha is essentially a rental 🤷♂️
I’m gonna say bruins, rangers or maple leafs and the rest of Canada right behind em because of the drought. But I say bs and rangers because the original 6 pressure combined with being a top seed over the last 3 seasons the time to win a Cup is now! I think Toronto is saying the same thing!
I need the oilers to win so i can hit $53k parlay from a $45 ticket. Already hit KC SB win, on pace to hit Tyrese Maxey for most improved player, only leg left is Oilers for the cup. Probably hedge during the playoff.
Is that a Sharks tattoo?
🦈😎
Rangers. It’s time
Agreed! With a former Conn Sythme winner as a backup goalie in Johnathan Quick and 3 time Cup winner (as a lifetime Kings fan), I'd love to see Quick get a 4th ring. GO RANGERS!!!
The Canucks for sure. Most cursed team in the NHL. Not good enough to ever win the stanley cup and not bad enough to get a 1st overall draft pick
I’m a jets fan and I know they need a Stanley Cup. The original jets from the 1980s and 90s never won, then they got moved to Arizona. Just this year, they were at risk of being moved to another city again, but it got solved. We also have the best fans in the league. (Aside from the habs)
Panthers. Now is their time and their window.
🧢
Nah, they are the biggest rat team in the nhl cant even lie
While I like to see the Oilers bring the cup to Canada, I have low hopes of the happening. While the offensive to top tier, they really only need to run into a team that is top tier in defence and focus on shutting down those key players from the Oilers while letting they’re own offence take charge.
I obviously would love the Oilers to do it (and they can). I would say Winnipeg actually. They’ve never won the cup and are one of the smallest markets, and Canadian.
However, if they meet the Oilers in the playoffs, there will be no love for the Jets.
Flyers havent won since the 70s
The Stars and Caps have too many dinosaurs. The Bruins at least are having their older talent bow out or take team friendly deals.
Before watching, Canes. Those pending UFA’s and RFA’s 😵💫
After watching, Rod isn’t going anywhere. He put the team on the map when he played for us, he put us back on the map when he started coaching for us. He doesn’t want to coach anywhere else. If Dundon doesn’t keep him this franchise could just die all over again. No chance
Vasy is himself. His defense has sucked ass these past 2 years where as he had an above average defense for most of 2017-22
Okay for me in Dalhousie N B Canada 🇨🇦 be great for Toronto Maple Leafs, have to go round 2, then be happy, Vancouver Canucks, not my team but they tried it before never got the Cup, Edmonton Oilers trying so hard great players, always like Dallas Stars 🌟, Tampa Bay Lightning ⚡️ great players also, and look 👀 at Florida Panthers doing well x not to sure, then my last Hurricane 🌀 another great team, just hope & good luck to all the teams here, bless you all, 🍀🍀🍀🍀🌟💙💙⚡️🌟🙏🙏👏👏👏🇨🇦💙👍👍👍
Hello from Campbellton🤝🤝
Tampa needs this one.
Any Canadian franchise and since the Habs is out for know, in this order.
1. Oilers
2. Leafs Yes I know this is wrong for a Habs fan, but I`m Norwegian and have a soft spot for original six teams (not Boston though).......
3. Canucks Just because.......
4, Wild Ok. They are not Canadian, but I do like Zucca the Norwegian. So how about Bolts with Lilleberg. Nah this is my friends favorite team so I just not like them
5. Caps. Ovechkin is my favorite player in the NHL.
The teams I really not want to win is Golden Knights (just don`t like them), Panthers (Cousins the coward) Dallas (Stole the North stars) and Bolts (my friends favorite team. I am still suffering from Stanley cup 2021)
Thanks for a nice hockey channel👍
TB and Vegas dont need to win anything. Tampa’s been there plenty recently. Vegas just won it. Strange arguments.
Yes, but also he said he’s not taking cup droughts and history into factor, just team cup windows
Not strange if you have ears lmao
not to be rude, but you clearly didn't pay attention in the beginning. He said the vid is ranking how quickly every teams' window is closing, & how badly they need to capitalize on this year- NOT about how important a cup would be to the fans or the franchise.
Canucks, or oilers
Who’s currently playing the best hockey? I’m looking at the Pens. They can do it by beating wings and islanders.
Leaf oiler final would be the best ever.
Bettman would cry for years.
Literally any Canadian team
When you factor everything in, I believe my Rangers, the Oilers and the Leafs are the most desperate to win it all.
Not holding my breath because I’m used to heart ache but I’d love to see the Preds go all the way
Last chance for Josi in Nashville... next year he will be traded to a contender
GO BOLTS! we beat Boston tonight!
Maybe it’s because I’m a fan, but I can’t think of a team more deserving of #1 than the Canes. Some key pieces will be guaranteed to be gone this offseason, so this is the best team the Canes will ever have (at least with this core)
no roope hintz is crazy.
I didn't mention him because he's already 27 years old. Still plenty of great prime years for him though.
Florida
Oilers for McDavid, Leafs because I am tired of seeing the 1967 joke lmao 😂
Don’t know how Leafs aren’t number one lol, it’s been literally 56 years.
Any team from Canada needs it the most since none of them won a title since what da 90s.
I waa gonna say, if its anything other than panthers, youre wrong. Good list
Leafs bro havent one since the year 100💀
I honestly think that Dallas Stars and the New York Rangers would have a Great Chance To Get To The Finals and Face Each Other Or In The Future
Floridas best season ever?? Huh? lol. They won the presidents trophy in 2022. lol.
I really want the Avs pls
You guys won 2 seasons ago my Rangers haven’t won in my life
@@charlesNYMetsleafs fan here, I feel that pain lol
@@benc.3128 oh yeah nevermind you have it worse
@@charlesNYMets that is irrelevant
You avs fans need to sod off for a while 😂
If a team wins the Stanley Cup, players will still leave, and often the price goes up with a Cup...
Who needs to win the Cup? Nobody!! Who should want it the most? That is something we can speculate on.
Brindamour will be resigned after this season, Canes would be stupid not to. Waddell and him have a great relationship.
Nobody thinks the rangers need it? 30 fucking years since we last won. My 75 yr old father and I have seen 1 cup in our lifetime
Dude this video isn’t about that, it’s about team roster situation, has nothing to do with the fans or cup win recency and he literally said that at the start of the video
It's not solely about it true, but i think it definitely needs to be factored in 30 years without a cup
1 cup in the last 82 years of hockey
@trevorconnatser6161
As an Oilers fan, Winnipeg deserves it! No one else lost their team and had to get it back.
rangers end the 30 year starvation
Teams with zero cups need a win. All franchises who haven’t won a cup after 1993 need to win. Mathematically speaking those two groups need a win. All the rest can wait and savour their prior wins. There are no other arguments because it’s hard just to get to the finals
Probably the Leafs in terms of pressure😂 . They've been a joke for years. The fact they make the post season so often and nobody takes them seriously while having the highest scoring forward with a heck of a supporting cast has to be the most frustrating for their fans. Crazy if NJ (13% chance of making it) squeaks in they would have no pressure or anything to lose. Could be interesting
Toronto needs one💙
"Vasy hasn't looked like himself" ... Go look at his stats this past month. That should answer your question.
And that's why you have the profile name you do 👍 I see a .913 SV and an 8-2-1 record, including against the Rangers, Panthers, Knights, Kings, and Bruins.
@@TwistedWristerHockey Thanks dude ...Im not trying to put you down or anything ... just making sure you saw how he has been doing lately thats all bro.
Always cheering for the canadian teams!
City of Vancouver needs a cup over any other city. I don't care what the criteria is. It's the only answer to the original question.
Vancouver probably just loses out to Toronto in that metric given the drought. There’s 11 teams that have never won a cup whereas the maple leafs have the longest drought in the league.
I’m a Rangers fan, but honestly Canadian market deserves one. Just not the Leafs, cuz it tickles me, haha maybe Vancouver deserves one
Hell no, screw em! LGR!!!
Toronto maple leafs
Jets or Nucks need it the most.
The Habs need to win it the most but will have no chance to win it.Of Playoff teams I fee lDallas needs to win it because Benn is near done and Pavelski is nearing 40 yrs of age.As Stankoven and Wyatt near new contracts Dallas will struggle to keep the team together.
