I think the biggest storyline so far is Toronto's rise to second place in the East while Buffalo currently sits 5 points behind them and Chicago 6 points behind them. They have long been buried in the SHL standings and finally their long going rebuild seems to be bearing fruit for the Stars. Even though it is a bit of a shock, I think that they will stick around in the top of the standings for the East because they slowly have been building a super strong roster. After making some moves to push them over the top it seems like they are finally going to see some success in the East. They are led by superstar Bobby Lane who has been instrumental to the team's rebuild, and semi-recently acquired defenseman Adam Barron is leading the way from their blueline and second in team points. With a few other plays hovering near a point per game pace I think they will hold onto their high place in the standings the rest of the season.
