I mean, as it stands now, I think Ottawa and Montreal are going to make it next year.

I think their teams are young and they're good and they're up and coming.

And I don't think Calgary and Vancouver are ready to make the playoffs.

So that leaves three teams.

Now, can Winnipeg get back to where they were?

I don't know.

I think they're getting a little old, and they have the same group.

I don't know how many improvements they can make over the course of the summer.

They're a team that tends to make the odd move but not big shake-up moves.

So I think in the tough central division, they're going to be fighting for a wild-card spot.

Edmonton, boy, I think they've got a lot of things going on this summer, and I would say their team is good enough right now to make the playoffs.

I don't think it's good enough to make the long run.

And in Toronto, you better hope that they're, from all us Torontonians,

that they've got a shot at being in the playoffs.

But I think a lot has to do with what kind of summer they come out with.

And they definitely need to make a few changes, and they need to upgrade their defense.

And I think some of the players definitely just need to see to be in a different spot.

It's not that they're bad, but, I mean, it's just not working the makeup of the Maple Leaf team this year.

I just didn't think it was that good.

Finish that.
