Edit: Conference Standings have been added to the bottom of the post.

So, it's taken a while, but it's time to begin the EA NHL 10 Re-Draft simulation. After the jump, we'll reveal the division-by-division standings along with player and goalie stats leaders.

To show that life doesn't always imitate art, though, we'll start with the NHL 10 scoring leader through the fake month of October:

Whhhhhaaaaaaat?

Chris Higgins, scoring superstar, provided this fake stat-line:

GP: 14; Goals: 13(!); Assists: 7; Points: 20

So that's why he was coveted by such GMs as Glen Sather and ... Glen Sather this summer. Well.
