Around the League 23: No, seriously, how will it work in 2021?

I think its about as good a you could hope for in both circumstances.

Agree with this.

Winnipeg is definitely a better team the next two seasons. They have sufficient goal-scorers so Dubois makes them harder to play against. Also, his father works in Winnipeg so he is likely to be comfortable immediately.

Columbus looked good today, their PP improves significantly. Plus the whole 1C thing might be overrated: Edmonton so far this season, Buffalo every year, Florida the past few seasons.

For Laine to stay they need to keep moving forward as a team and find him a legit center. If they’re middling with no big obvious reason for improvement it’s hard to imagine he’s the one that stays after pretty much everyone else has left.

East Teams 1C in playoff positions (real ones) last year:

Boston: Bergeron
Tampa: Point/Stamkos
Toronto: Matthews/Tavares
Washington: Backstrom/Kuznetsov
Philly: Couturier
Pittsburgh: Crosby/Malkin
Carolina: Aho
Islanders: Barzal

1C MAY be pretty important IDK.

Man, with Vancouver being a tire fire, it's time to strike when the iron is hot and offer Necas, Pesce, and Jarvis for Pettersson.
