By Order of standings as of January 23rd
The east currently own three of the top four point earners thus far (Howden, Matthews, Palmieri), and two of the top three goal scorers (Kreider, Jones).
Howden leads the league at 49 assists. Rasmus Dahlin (CBJ) was a last minute cut but is an honorable mention on D at a whopping +35.
There were a few other tough calls such as cutting Patrick White but I wanted to ensure all teams had a representative.
