Here are more in depth looks at the Northeast Division, Atlantic Division and Southeast Division. This will be a predicted finish of the East Division clubs. Write-ups for individual teams are in the division profiles.
1. Montreal Canadiens
2. New Jersey Devils
3. Washington Capitals
4. Pittsburgh Penguins
5. Ottawa Senators
6. New York Rangers
7. Buffalo Sabres
8. Philadelphia Flyers
--------------------------------
9. Carolina Hurricanes
10. Boston Bruins
11. Florida Panthers
12. Toronto Maple Leafs
13. Tampa Bay Lightning
14. Atlanta Thrashers
15. New York Islanders

Statistically played the best D? The Rangers were tops in GAA in the East last year.

I love how everyone is dumb enough to keep predicting the same teams to finish on top. It never happens that way. And your Caps breakdown is nonsense. Statistically they played the best D in the East last year and have basically added Nylander,Clark and Fedorov to their offense. Add to that Green,Backstrom,Ovechkin and Semin a year older plus terrific depth in the minors(Bourque,Alzner,Varlamov,etc) and it will take a serious injury to Ovechkin to keep them from challenging Mtl and Pit for the top spot in the East. Now Theodore in the playoffs is a much bigger question mark then in the regular season but with this wealth of talent plus the best player on the planet I like their chances.
