Uh oh…it could be a long season for the Eastern Conference in inter-conference play.  Spezza, Iginla, Richards, Neal, Vanek and Hemsky will all make their teams much better for now and the foreseeable future.  Even the bad teams got significantly better.

Meanwhile, the East added some quality veterans but true impact might be limited to the likes of Parenteau, Cammalleri and Garrison.

Advantage to the West, once again.  It looks like the Cup champion might be decided in the NHL Western Conference final once again, just as it was this past season, and getting to that point is going to be a war.
