Around the League 2019-2024 Edition

I pretty much take it as a given the Leafs will be near the top of the regular season standings when the dust settles.

I mean, they are where they are even with Marner & Matthews playing nowhere near their potential, Samsonov having played like horseshit and with Klingberg’s $4M or so in cap space unspent. I don’t expect any of those things to continue indefinitely.

it's pretty nuts that they have like the worst PP in the league tho.
Zohorny and the corpse of Jeff Carter have gotten regular 2nd unit minutes.

That said you would expect Sid-ek-guentzel to be better, though they lack a real trigger man.
 
Let's see if Dubas has the balls to shit can Sullivan. It's definitely overdue. He had a nice run for a while, but he needs to go.
I thought ownership made it clear to him that he had to keep Sullivan when they hired him? I remember reading that somewhere...
 
They should do it but skip the ugly ass ice and tie in the Global Series.

Quarters, Semis, and Finals of the In-Season are held in Europe. Call it the Global Cup or whatever. Semis and Finals are on a Saturday and Sunday - afternoon/night in Europe, late morning/early afternoon in NA.

Get the team cities to open bars early if needed. Organize game day parties.

this idea is far too excellent to ever be considered by the powers that be
 
Owners will want these "tournament games" gate receipts. I really like that something like this would ratchet up the intensity of regular season games - and adopting knock-out finals games would really make for great TV IMO.
 
Everyone is talking about how Team America would dominate a world cup so i decided to build the current best teams by net rating.

Goalies are GSAx over this year and last year.

Obviously these are far from perfect rosters, and include a bunch of guys getting credit for PP skills that wouldn't be needed in their roles here but thought it was interesting anyways.
