Seems legit honestly.

I made a AC-GM on these lines: https://www.capfriendly.com/armchair-gm/team/2360302

Wild clinch a Playoff spot with the win tonight. Outshot again.

I agree. The avs are in the best long term position in the nhl (probably the best in the short term too), and Sakic was the man who assembled most of the roster.

I have nhl live too. Normally not watching my "home team" (the oilers, flames and jets) wouldn't be that bad, accept when the majority of your games are blacked out because that's half of Toronto's opposition this year lol. In that way I'll be happy to see the divisions go back to normal.

Oof, that sucks. Luckily for me only 3 habs games were blacked out, and they all happened to be within a month, so I only had to pay for 1 month of TSN.

At least all hockey night in Canada games are on it, so that also includes playoffs, but still annoying for sure.

As predicted the West has a strong top 3 though maybe not the teams you expected to be in said top 3 as the Wild, Avs and Vegas have all already clinched also proving it’s maybe the easiest division since no other team has clinched IN THE LEAGUE

After reading most of the discussion about how NHL broadcasts and stuff I’ve come to and the conclusion it is a complete mess. How in the world does it make sense to block out your own local team’s games

I lika the spicy Thornton

Also, I think Mitchy is rising up again

I wish they hadn’t switched the Wild and the Stars last second, if they did we would probably be where Minnesota are.

Just kidding, it's very hard to know, but based on the fact 3 team in the west have clinched, it does make you think it might be the weakest division.

The block them out because why watch your local team on TV when you can watch them in the Arena, in other words to keep people attending the games in high numbers

It’s the one with the biggest difference in teams for sure there’s 3 contenders and then 5 from okay to bad teams, the Metro is definitely the hardest and the Central probably the 2nd hardest.

Ya, I agree.

If your definition of weakest division means: Which division is it easiest to qualify for the playoffs, then the West is the easiest. But, when you have arguably the 2 best teams in the entire league, one might arrive at a different conclusion. Personally, I think the East is the hardest in the sense that the Rangers may very well be the best team not to make the playoffs in the entire NHL. Put them in any other division and they're a virtual lock.

I'd still take Dallas over the Islanders if they were both 100% healthy. They're better offensively. Especially with Seguin. Goaltending is pretty comparable with Bishop healthy (a rare occurrence). I don't think any team has been more decimated by injuries than the Stars this season.

The division that's had two teams go on +10 game losing streaks is definitely the weakest.

Or the division that already has 3 teams clinched for the playoffs could also be the weakest.

Andrew Shaw has retired, all those concussion finally forced him to retire

Thank you Andrew.

Yes. The central and divisions are very top heavy. The East and North Divisions and more well rounded (although the east>north)

The west division be like:

Vegas
Colorado



Minnesota
