I was incredibly fortunate to land a job at The Canadian Press almost immediately after moving to Toronto to study journalism at Ryerson. Neil Davidson was the sports editor there at the time and gave an year-old a huge break by hiring him to write small stories on junior hockey games three nights per week.
Neil once jokingly told me that his only concern about hiring me was that he might be breaking child labour laws. There was also a muggy day stretch in Tampa for the Stanley Cup final last July which tested my commitment. Only an injury or act of God will stop me now. The Montreal Canadiens begin the second round of interviews for their general manager vacancy on Monday … With games already postponed or rescheduled, the NHL is expected to extend the season a week beyond the current April 29 end date to ease the backlog … How significantly has the Ottawa Senators season been interrupted by COVID delays?
With eight teams requiring representation among only 11 spots in some divisions, it meant the exclusion of top-flight players.

For the most part, the hockey operations department does a good job of getting high-end players into the game, especially considering the limited number of roster slots there are only 11 per team.
There is also the constraint that each team must have at least one representative, which prompted a hilarious Tyler Bertuzzi quote last week. I wanted to look at what the league got right and what the league missed when building these rosters, so using the same rules and operating constraints, I tried to select the same divisional rosters based on their individual contributions during the season.
My approach to selecting the rosters was a data-driven one, but attacked the goaltenders first, then taking care of the mandatory one-player-per-team requirement, then filling out the rest of the roster based on performance.
Number of matches: five out of 10 50 per cent. The single most important tweak you could make to the Atlantic roster is bringing in Bruins forward Brad Marchand. Marchand has an astonishing 59 points in 41 games, which is tied for the team-lead with the much younger and league selected David Pastrnak. The second biggest area of disagreement I would have with the selected roster is on the blueline, where I give the edge to Charlie McAvoy over the veteran Shea Weber.
The one player who deserves that nod is forward Max Domi , who has 30 points 10 goals and 20 assists , fourth best on the Canadiens roster.
