How do you figure?

They have nothing special at all. Their goaltending is average, their forwards are average, their defence is average, maybe Buffy is a bit above average but he's gone in a couple years. No leading scorer, no league MVP; nobody on that team is going to win a major award any time soon and they don't really have anybody in the system (like a McDavid) who is going to change that.

They arent winning the cup, but they are a bit#h to play against and do have some bright spots. Jacob trouba is the real deal. Hes a great 2 way dman already. But no, they aint winning crap. Could be the best canadian team rught now though, them or the habs

As of today, IMO, I think it's Edmonton, Calgary, Montreal, Toronto, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Vancouver.

Curious, what order would you put them in? (serious)

My guess would be Montreal, Calgary/Edmonton (both will likely peak at roughly the same time I think), Winnipeg, Toronto, Vancouver, Ottawa

Although once you get past the first 2 or 3, you're really just super guessing at that point.

It's a crazy question because it's going to be sometime before any canadian team wins the cup. Watching teams like Chicago and Anaheim it really puts things into perspective. All canadian team are so far away it's disheartening.

I'll only look at the next 5 years because who knows what's going to happen beyond that. A team has to make the playoffs first to compete. So I'm going to look at who (over the next five years) has the best chances of making the post season. Hopefully, with a whole lotta luck one of those teams strikes gold.

Montreal
Winnipeg

[big gap]

Edmonton
Calgary
Vancouver
Ottawa

[big gap]

you don't need to win nhl awards to win the cup. I mentioned they need one of their goalie prospects to step up. Sheifele, trouba and Lowry are all under 21 and look to be on the right path. Trouba can easily win a Norris trophy in his future. Little, wheeler and Myers (another potential future Norris winner) are all locked up long term. The jets actually play great with out buff so I don't care if we lose him. Ehlers and josh Morrisey look to be future all stars at their positions. Lemieux, armia, petan and kosteluk all look to future nhl'ers without question. I think Ladd re signs and gets locked up. I see a team with a great mix of skill, speed and toughness that will be icing four great lines in the very near future. I guess time will tell
