Does the Laine/Dubois Deal Change How You Would Pick the Divisions... |

Quick hit discussion topic for this NFL Champion Sunday.
Now that Laine and Roslovic are Blue Jackets and Dubois is a Jet would you change your predictions?
On Columbus...
I had the Jackets as the Regular Season Champs in the Central, but their early shakes goaltending and low offensive production already had me wondering if I over shot with this team, but actually this trade makes me feel better about the pick. This is a group that rides on emotions and as we saw yesterday against Tampa, in a game that happened right after the trade, but with no new players in the lineup, the Jackets had their best game to date... I think once they get Laine and Roslovic in the lineup they will be that force that battles for the division...
On Winnipeg...
Prior to the season I had them at 6th in a very strong Canadian Division....When I put them there I said that to me the Teams sitting 2-6 could really finish in any order abd I thought the Laine stuff may have a negative effect on them.....I still felt that to be after the first two weeks of the season, but I will add that I am now curious as to how they look with Dubois as their #2 Center. I think I would move them to 5th now and move Vancouver to 6th....
What say you?
