Colorado. I know they are out, but their ceiling was still the highest to me. If the Avs were healthy and clicking, they could beat anyone.
Edmonton would have been terrifying because elite stars can steal games even when the rest of the team is uneven. Nobody wants to defend that level of skill for seven games.
