I think you mean central division. Pacific did crap all.

Jets
Stars
Avs
Wild

That's how I see it playing out. In all likelihood, whoever ends up as the first WC (say the Avs or Wild) will face the Knights. So while the Pacific team normally gets a squad limping to the WCF, i don't think it will be THAT easy. The second wildcard looks like the only cannon fodder this year.

Toronto just looks slow asf compared to Colorado. Having a way too old Morgan Reilly as your best puck mover at this point is just not a recipe for winning in the playoffs.
 
If the Avs are smart they'll suck just enough to land in the Pacific wild card.

Avs vs Stars round one or bust!

But seriously, Tulsky didn't even do what Dallas did in negotiating an extension first and then to make it worse, Rantanen apparently really wanted to go to Edmonton and Tulsky tried to send him to Toronto first for Marner like the bloke didn't even f***ing learn his lesson the first time.

Tulsky is a brilliant capologist. But holy shit is he an absolutely dreadful GM. He pissed away a good part of his prospect pool and a very good Necas and also a depth player in Drury for barely a dozen or so games of Rantanen and losing Guentzel at the end of the season last year, lol.

And then he only gets back Stankoven and some firsts from Dallas. Stank is good, he's very strong on his skates and has a lethal shot but he's also barely 5'8" and he's put up 9 goals in 50+ games this season with a shooting percentage of 6. Played a ton with Robo and Hintz. He'll produce I'm sure in Carolina but that as a return for Rantanen is not ideal.

He didn't learn from the Jake Guentzel trade and then even worse with Rantanen but got back some first rounders and a small but fiesty W/C with a lethal shot that seemingly isn't shooting enough.
Cooper using Guentzel on the PK
And got dunked on by an awful Bruins squad 4-0 lol.
