Some of the talking heads on NHL Network have picked them. Think Weeks did the other night also. To me this is a better team then the team that won the west a few years ago. In watching them the addition on Burns Havlat Handzus have been upgrades for sure. Colin White is the only addition that is questionable at this point. I think this is a better team then last years team and I know your getting up there in age and the mind starts going, but San Jose finished 2nd last year. They got better and I don't think the Canucks did. Head down moment ....Not sure if you confused the Sharks with the Hawks who snuck in last year because the Wild beat the Stars , but the Sharks are to me a top 3 team with a good chance of winning the west. Just don't think a jump from second to first is laughable giving what they added.
