Unless there's a strike coming up, then I'd still think that Colorado, Detroit, and Dallas will still be among the top teams in the West for a few years to come yet. Anaheim will probably make it to the play-offs regularly now, and Minnesota isn't like Carolina where it's a huge suprise. They actually have a very good team, coach, young players, system... They'll probably be one of the top teams for the next years.
And about Bertuzzi, I don't care about that specific call, but I think people are way too hard on him. He takes so much that isn't called (every notice how many times he gets high-sticked and it's not called? More than twice as much as any other player), so don't forget about that either.
