It looks like the NHL will have an all-Canadian division in mid-January when (fingers crossed) play resumes. The media out east is convinced that Toronto and Montreal will be fighting for first. I posted last year's standings. (Teams sorted by points percentage.) The top five were basically tied. Montreal was in 6th, equidistant from 5th and 7th.
On paper, no team got weaker. (Vancouver could be, depending on your views on Holtby.)
Let's discuss!
