The following are my 2013-2014 NHL Regular Season Predictions:

Eastern Conference
Division A Division B
Pittsburgh Penguins
Boston Bruins
New York Rangers
Ottawa Senators
Columbus Blue Jackets
Toronto Maple Leafs
Washington Capitals (WC)
Detroit Red Wings (WC)
New York Islanders
Montreal Canadiens
Carolina Hurricanes
Tampa Bay Lightning
Philadelphia Flyers
Buffalo Sabres
New Jersey Devils
Florida Panthers
Western Conference
Division C Division D
Chicago Blackhawks
LA Kings
St. Louis Blues
San Jose Sharks
Minnesota Wild
Anaheim Ducks
Winnipeg Jets (WC)
Vancouver Canucks (WC)
Dallas Stars
Edmonton Oilers
Nashville Predators
Phoenix Coyotes
Colorado Avalanche
Calgary Flames

With the 2013 NHL Realignment, a team's chances to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference are lower. In the East, there are 16 teams battling for 8 playoff spots. In the West, there are 14 teams battling for 8 playoff spots. My prediction is that the Pittsburgh Penguins win the Presidents' Trophy with the most points during the regular season.
