27. Vancouver: 3-5-1 (7 points)

The goaltending has been good but the Canucks need more out of Pettersson (1 goal) and Ekman-Larsson (2 points). When the kids take the next step, lookout, watch Dem-ko!

Random Note: Appreciation for J.T. Miller (Van stats: 131GP, 127P, 56.3FO%, 56CF% 18P in 17 playoff games). Those numbers rival the Toronto Maple Leafs J.T.

26. Dallas: 3-4-1 (7 points)

Holtby (2.40 GAA .926 SV%) has Benn very good but oh my stars, the Stars’ stars are goal-starved. Say-guin? Need a few Hintz?

Random Note: What does Klingberg get on the open market? Will he find somebody Jones-ing for an overpayment or settle for a team with Rielly-good sense?

25. Seattle: 3-5-1 (7 points)

Man, how the Holl do the Toronto Maple Leafs miss out on a name like Jared McCann (3G 7P in 8 games)? Sorry but I just had to get that Kraken.

Random Note: C Morgan Geekie. That is all.

24. Vegas: 4-4 (8 points)

A power-play that’s worse than Toronto’s?! What are the odds? No, seriously Vegas, what are the odds? After some of these NFL finals and that Clemson debacle, we know you’re fixing everything!

Random Note: I remember being annoyed when the Toronto Maple Leafs lost Leipsic, now in the KHL, to Vegas in the expansion draft. I was also a big believer in Luca Caputi, so, yea, shows what I know.
