In November, I looked at the whole league to see who is good, bad or faking. Now that it’s very nearly the trade deadline, I’m having another look to see who is in, out and really on the bubble. One of the truisms of the NHL is that even if you get your points early in the season on a lucky run of shooting or hot goaltending, they don’t make you give them back. So faking being good early, at this point, is as good as having being good for real. That is, if you’ve improved your team.
Who’s good, who’s on the bubble and who’s checking lottery odds?
