The Tampa Bay Barracuda had a successful preseason to follow up their President's Trophy last season, tying for the league lead in points with Toronto (what??).  Many people paint Tampa's season last year as lucky, but I think they can keep up their success as they have a young team that is developing quickly together with solid pieces up and down the lineup.  Look for Flacko Lagerfield to continue his offensive success (8th in preseason scoring) and Krstaps Ball to continue to lead from the defense (lead the league in preseason plus minus).  When you add in rookies Cloutier, Soderberg, and DuBolk it is easy to see them as being a perennial favorite in the East.
