Projected Conference Standings
The projected conference standings are the same results as the previous slide, that showed my NHL standings projections. This slide just breaks up the results so that it is easier to read and visualize.
The NHL point total projections for each team below seem to show a trend that favors clubs with offensive consistency and solid goaltending.
The next slide will be then NHL division projections, the following slide will be projected NHL playoff matchups, and the last slide will be final thoughts including which teams are underrated and overrated.
Playoff teams are bolded and marked with an asterisk (*).
