I think Vancouver is a contender all of a sudden with Mark Messier. I can't 
believe that Colorado matched the Ranger's offer to Sakic. I think that the 
Ranger's are out of it. Montreal could be in if they make a couple good 
trades. Edmonton would be in if they had the money. Ottawa still has a couple 
years before they become contenders. Toronto is haveing major problems. They 
can't even find a coach that's willing to work for them!!! Calgary is slowly 
going down the drain.
