The Dodgers Are Going to Be a Problem. Again.
At least in the regular season, the Dodgers were the surest thing in Major League Baseball between 2013 and 2019. They won the NL West each year, with an average of 96 wins per season and highs of 104 wins and 106 wins in 2017 and 2019, respectively.

After weeks of rumors, the second and third picks in the 2016 NHL draft were finally swapped.
One of the most prolific scoring wingers of the last four years, Winnipeg Jets left wing Patrik Laine has long been rumored to want out of Winnipeg. With seemingly disgruntled center Pierre-Luc Dubois wanting out of Columbus, a natural trade partner appeared.
The Jets sent Laine and forward Jack Roslovic to the Blue Jackets in exchange for Dubois and a third-round pick in the 2022 draft Saturday morning. Columbus general manager Jarmo Kekalainen also announced the club signed Columbus native Roslovic, a restricted free agent, to a two-year, $3.8 million contract.
