See, I don't agree that the North is objectively better than what the Pacific was in 19-20. Oilers, Flames, Canucks were 2, 3, 4. Flames and Canucks are a shadow of what they were last year, and the Oilers are the same at very best. I am saying that the Pacific Flames and Canucks were better than the North Flames and Canucks are . Would you argue against that? No matter which way you slice it, transitive logic won't solve for which division is more competitive, and because of that, all comparisons, including mine, are moot.
