Speaking of the playoffs, we’re just thrilled that MLB is finally discussing going from eight teams making the postseason to 10, a change that could happen as soon as next year.

However, there will not be the guy (Crosby) that could have easily garnered you 110-to-120 points. I would suggest that 105 points is probably the most you see out of any centre this season, but the depth is still there.
