Dallas and St Louis are the only Central teams that seem to have actively improved their roster this offseason. Everyone else got worse or held steady. Colorado is a dumpster fire but everyone else is a playoff contender once again.
Chicago- Patty Kane is still a piece of crap but he's also still one of the best players in the world. The team is crumbling but they're still a playoff team. My biggest fear though is that they just miss the playoffs then win the draft lotto.
Dallas- Got better this offseason but still a lot of questions. Does Hitch end up making their D better or does he hinder their offense like he was prone to late in his STL tenure? Can Bishop stay healthy? Can Radulov be as consistent without needing to prove himself? There's more but those are the big ones
Minnesota- They remind me so much of the Blues teams of 3-4 years ago. Good regular season team but not built for playoff success
Nashville- Was the playoffs them putting it all together or just a team getting hot at the right time? Defense is great but I'm not convinced their team overall is that much better than anyone else in the division.
St Louis- I love the moves we made this offseason but while I choose to believe that Allen turned a corner last year it's not proven. Health as always seems to be a concern. We lack the depth in playmakers to withstand multiple injuries but a healthy roster is pretty solid
Winnipeg- Look decent on paper, always underachieving. Until they prove differently, eh
