I'd say defending Cup champs in Chicago are just as elite as those 2 teams and I'd almost put St. Louis in there right now as well.
I was referring to elite teams in the East...the serious teams we have to get by. Chicago, St. Louis and Anneheim are the best teams in the West...but there are 7 or 8 elite teams in the West. Don't worry about them. Let's dominate our own weak division first!
