Alright, now that my guesses are out of the way let's see how little us hockey nerds know as we get beaten by google's coin flip/random number generator features. Method: Heads is the higher seed, tails the lower. RNG determines number of games from 4-7.

Round One

Eastern Conference
Boston Bruins (A1) vs. Florida Panthers (WC2) - Bruins in 7
Toronto Maple Leafs (A2) vs. Tampa Bay Lightning (A3) - Leafs in 6
Carolina Hurricanes (M1) vs. New York Islanders (WC1) - Islanders in 7
New Jersey Devils (M2) vs. New York Rangers (M3) - Devils in 6

Western Conference
Colorado Avalanche (C1) vs. Seattle Kraken (WC1) - Kraken in 7
Dallas Stars (C2) vs. Minnesota Wild (C3) - Wild in 5
Vegas Golden Knights (P1) vs. Winnipeg Jets (WC2) - Jets in 7
Edmonton Oilers (P2) vs. Los Angeles Kings (P3) - Oilers in 7

Round 2

Eastern Conference
Boston Bruins (A1) vs. Toronto Maple Leafs (A2) - Bruins in 4
New Jersey Devils (M2) vs. New York Islanders (WC1) - Devils in 6

Western Conference
Minnesota Wild (C3) vs. Seattle Kraken (WC1) - Kraken in 4
Edmonton Oilers (P2) vs. Winnipeg Jets (WC2) - Jets in 4

Conference Finals

Eastern Conference
Boston Bruins (A1) vs. New Jersey Devils (M2) - Bruins in 4

Western Conference
Seattle Kraken (WC1) vs. Winnipeg Jets (WC2) - Kraken in 5

Stanley Cup Finals

Boston Bruins (A1) vs. Seattle Kraken (WC1) - Bruins in 7

Conn Smythe: Pavel Zacha (RNG=10)
Method: sorted Bruins roster by Point Share and let RNG choose 1-11. If 11, it's a Kraken Player sorted by Point Share and RNG selects 1-10
Most Points: Patrice Bergeron (RNG=3)
Method: sorted Bruins/Kraken roster by total points and let RNG choose 1-13. 1-6 that place regular season scorer for the Bruins 7-12 that place regular season scorer for the Kraken, 13 McDavid just wins it anyways
Cup Winning Goal: Pavel Zacha (RNG=4)
Method: Sorted Bruins Roster by total points and let RNG choose 1-21 that place regular season scorer
Cup Winning Goal Time: 12:39 of the third period
Method: RNG 1-4 for period (if 4 OT), RNG 0-19 for minute, RNG 0-59 for second.

I thought I was giving a hot take with my Islanders prediction but apparently a lot of people here think they are going to beat Carolina.

It's probably the least interesting series of the first round. Two very low event, structured teams going head to head is generally a coin flip in my opinion. Svech is hurt and outside of Aho the Canes don't really have anyone who can take over a series like they probably need. The Isles have Barzal back and a probably very determined Horvat.

To use a tired cliche, the Isles have been playing playoff hockey for a month whereas the Canes haven't had a lot of anything to do since like... January. I don't think either team is a strong favourite personally, but I went Isles simply because I needed an upset and the Canes don't inspire me this year. So congrats on your cup Raleigh.
