I know the North gets all of the attention but the West is easily the worst division this season.
Not sure I buy this. I think you can say the worst teams in the west are every bit as bad as, if not worse than, the worst in the north. But I'll take the top 4 in the west over the top 4 in the north without a moment's pause.
The thing about the North is that it's Toronto, Ottawa, and five bubble teams (with some of the bubble teams having real rough seasons). It's pretty hard to think highly of that but compared to teams with a bunch of really bad teams like the West, I think it grades better. The top two in the West are legit, but Minnesota - a bubble team themselves before this - as a powerhouse? Hard to be high on a division like that.
The best in the west are better, but I reckon it might be a worst overall division.
