Six Moscow Menace players can be found in the top-30 for scoring. That fact answers why Moscow Menace is the best team in the league right now. Moscow Menace is like a dirty love poem, layers on top of layers. We must still not forget that the European division is not doing so well with four teams already looking like they will be having seasons to forget.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens between now and the trade deadline.  Are some of the NA teams going to send their players over to the EU side to give the players a taste of playoff action? Normally as a player, you would not perhaps mind if you get traded to a team making it into the playoffs, but if you are a player who finds themselves in the 5th placed EU team after the trade deadline - you might not be too happy about it as the odds are heavily against your team due to the monumental difference in skill and depth. Then again the EU teams might not have too many pieces to move in the first place, which could cause the "hype" for the trade deadline to fade away completely well before we even reach the trade deadline.

 

Luckily at least in the NA division, the battle for playoffs remains tight with the majority of the division being within reasonable distance from each other when looking at the points total.
