We have the same flawed, but functional centre depth as they do.

And then they have little in the way of wingers for the 2nd and 3rd line.

But that C depth is as good as anybody's.

I think they finish 4th, behind CGY, MON and TOR (because of their D, and lack of depth on wing)

That's where I rank them as well. If a couple of players come out for them like Mangiapane and Dube did for the Flames, they might fight Montreal for 3rd. 4th is where I think they end up as well. They are not as terrible as Edmonton or Vancouver. The only wildcard for me is Ottawa - it wouldn't surprise me to see a 'better than expected' season for Ottawa with their youth movement like we have seen in Calgary, Edmonton and Vancouver for a season each, but more realistically they will be fighting near the basement.

Jarmo doing his due diligence and listening to the other 11 teams’ offers.

PLD will have ehlers to play with so he won't have absolutely no one. But I think Winnipeg lost in this trade

I really like Laine, but Dubois has actually scored more goals than him at even strength over the past 2 seasons. Laine will improve their powerplay though. Such a good shot.

Yeah, Ohio isn’t even close to “American Manitoba.” It isn’t like Laine went to Fargo, ND.

Can Laine refuse to report? I don't see Laine and Torts getting along.

You just know that Torts is thinking "you got rid of PLD and replaced him with Laine? Are you fricking kidding me?"

Do these Dubois goals count for more, or are they both included in the total goals for the year?

Not sure, can you check the rule book and report back?

Scoring at 5 on 5 is much more difficult than doing it on the powerplay and you know, more valuable since the majority of the game is played at even strength.

True, but most goals wins. Even if they come on the PP.
