NHL experts predict: Which No. 1 seed is most vulnerable, the next postseason breakout star

Our NHL experts tackle the pressing questions as we march toward the playoffs, including which No. 1 seed is most vulnerable in the first round, who will be the postseason's breakout star and which teams will spend big in free agency.

Or it could be me saying that a first-round series against someone like Ken Hitchcock's Dallas Stars or Jonathan Quick and the Los Angeles Kings could be problematic for the Preds.
