Out of the 6, there are 3 teams that have a chance on winning the Stanley Cup.
Ottawa.
Calgary.
Vancouver.
Ottawa made it to the finals last year, and could easily make it back to the finals.
Calgary struggled last season, especailly on the road, and they are hoping to improve on that with their new additions.
Vancouver was a strong team last season, and will continue being a strong team. they too, have a good chance on making it far.

Calgary Flames would be my choice, they have an elite goaltender, solid defensive corps and are playoff tested by playing in the most competitive division in hockey, the Northwest. This can be a double each sword, while a team like the Red Wings can coast into the playoff from November playing minor league teams in the Central, the Flames could be banged up from playing meaningful games all season long
Also scoring will factor into them making a run, with Mike Keenan now behind the bench 3rd line players will strive and overachieve but players such as Alex Tanguay will become a "Craig Janney" to Iron Mike and under produce.
Ottawa will likely have a cup appearance hangover and blame Emery for every lost. Oilers are not anywhere close, no leadership, Canucks can't score, Leafs don't have a goaltender and the Habs would need just a magical run to reach the conference finals, this leaves the Flames as the only logical choice.

It would seem that ottawa has the best chance of all the canadian teams, but dont sleep on the calgary flames. The rest of the canadian teams just arent at that elite status yet, and that includes the canucks. They may have arguably the best goalie in the league but the rest of their team is suspect. With that being said, I sadly dont see the sens having a great shot at the cup anyway.

No ottawa had there chance last year,I don't think any of the Canadian teams will win.Ottawa was our only hope Flames could maybe do it if they don't crack in the playoffs.But my best shot to say who's going to win THE SHARKS.

Ottawa in the east
Calgary and Vancouver in the west
The other three Canadian teams are unlikely to be playing past mid-April

I think that ottawa has the best candadian team and possibly the best team in the NHL

'Couver. I really hope the Canucks win it.
I was raised a Habs fan but they haven't been doing too hot recently.
Either way, it's definetly time for a Canadian win.
It's been what ...14 years now?

They are weak as hell. There will never be another Canadian team winning the Stanley Cup.
