The Central is arguably the deepest and toughest division in the NHL, with the Colorado Avalanche, Nashville Predators, Dallas Stars and Winnipeg Jets leading the way. On this Locked On NHL Season Preview Round Table, Ann Kimmel (Locked On Predators), Chris Micieli (Locked On Avalanche), Harrison Lee (Locked On Jets) and Joey Erickson (Locked On Stars) break down the landscape of a Central Division that’s loaded up top, and has some young squads on the rise. Will the Predators’ additions of Steven Stamkos and Jonathan Marchessault give Nashville enough juice to join the Stars and Avs in the race for first? Can the Avalanche overcome uncertainty surrounding two key players? Will the Stars’ rising wave of youth help replace some key offseason losses? And are the Jets doomed to be the team of these four that drops out of the playoff picture? All that, plus FanDuel points over/unders, offseason additions, breakout players and the biggest threats to derail each of these team’s seasons.
