I will start this by saying, I want Joe Thorton to win the cup almost as badly as I want TO to win it (I'm a Leafs fan).
That being said, I don't see this team going anywhere. They essentially zero prospects, no 1st round pick this year and their depth upfront is not very good. Yes their defence is sick but I am not sure it's going to be as good as people think. Karlsson and Burns will transition well but I am not sure either are overly effective against big bruising cycle teams. Which is many teams in the west and even with Burns and Karlsson, I think their offense will be well below other top teams in the league. I don't want it to be the case but I have a bad feeling San Jose won't be nearly as good as they hope to be and they'll be undertaking a rebuild in the not to distant future.
