In the second part of our Season Preview Extravaganza we survey the Western Conference landscape. A sample of the things we cover in this episode include:

Can anyone give the Ducks anything resembling a scare in the Pacific? Can the Stars generate enough offense to overcome their notorious flaws defensively? Do we have a reasonable explanation for the TJ Oshie-for-Troy Brouwer trade this summer? Can the Wild afford to ease up on Ryan Suter’s minutes? Are the Jets primed for a big midseason trade? Should we be excited about the Battle of Alberta for the first time in what seems like many, many years? And are the ‘Yotes the front runners in the Auston Matthews sweepstakes?
