These predictions are based on 2014/15 PPG * Predicted GP values for each team's top 12 forwards, top 6 d-men and top 2 goalies. I've just thrown out some rough estimations regarding number of games played, and re-jigged a couple of things regarding conference games. They're more quantitative than qualitative, so take them with a grain of salt!
Edit: I should add, the top 18 teams are all potential playoff contenders. I predict there will be a lot of competition for the 7th and 8th positions especially, with teams 7 through 11 being within 1.5 percentage points of each other.

Comparing my picks and everyone elses, it feels safe to say that there is legitimately zero consensus as to how this is going to shake out. Only one team in McDavid has been picked by everyone to make the playoffs, same with Eichel (although I'm the only one who didn't put Calgary in)
1. San Jose v. 8. Anaheim 4. Arizona v. 5. Los Angeles 3. Toronto v. 6. Columbus 2. Winnipeg v. 7. Minnesota
I don't recall if we reseed for playoffs but I'm going to proceed as if we do
1. San Jose v. 7. Minnesota 4. Arizona v. 6. Columbus
