Wait, the only thing on television is the MLB All Star Game? You mean there's really no more hockey until October?

That's right, folks. With the 2011 NHL Draft behind us and the frenzy that was NHL Free Agency slowing to a halt, excitement in the hockey world comes in the form of speculation and anticipation for the upcoming NHL campaign.

Trust me, I know life without hockey is tough, but why not take a look at how each team will fare next season to pass the time? What else are we going to do? Watch baseball? Of course not.

These records and rankings are preliminary. I reserve the right to change them many times before the start of the season. So, here is each team's projected record at this point in the offseason. Enjoy.
