CC and Minnesota are the class. I believe the difference will be the goaltending. Minniesota is better than one might expect with DuBus. Alaska is weak. The rest will rise and fall with defense, not defensemen but the play in the defensive zone. If someone gets a consistent tender they will win their share.
