A new hockey season is upon us, and for the first time in well over a decade, I have expectations. Could the Maple Leafs actually take another step forward this year, or am I (and Leafs Nation as a whole) setting ourselves up for disappointment? This is still a young and ostensibly rebuilding team, don't forget. A step backwards wouldn't be a shock. To their credit, the Leafs front office didn't go nuts with "win now" signings or anything, since Patrick Marleau isn't exactly the last piece of the puzzle at his advanced age of *checks Wikipedia* 72 years old.
My predictions!
East: Penguins, Capitals, Rangers, Blue Jackets......Canadiens, Lightning, Maple Leafs, Panthers
West: Stars, Predators, Blackhawks, Jets, Wild.....Ducks, Oilers, Sharks
Stanley Cup Finals: Ducks over Rangers

While I'm here, let's get the NBA picks out of the way as well, unless some other major superstars switches teams in the next month. Also, because it's pretty obvious that Golden State is going to win the title again.
East Conference: Celtics, Wizards, Cavaliers, Bucks, Raptors, Heat, Hawks, Pistons
West Conference: Warriors, Thunder, Rockets, Spurs, Trail Blazers, Clippers, Nuggets, Timberwolves
NBA Finals: Warriors over Celtics
