Definitely better than:

1 Anaheim Ducks
2 Chicago Blackhawks
3 Columbus Blue Jackets
4 San Jose Sharks
5 Montreal Canadiens
6 Arizona Coyotes
7 Philadelphia Flyers
8 Detroit Red Wings

Likely better than

9 St. Louis Blues
10 Washington Capitals
11 Seattle Kraken

Probably better than

12 Nashville Predators
13 Ottawa Senators

On par with

13 Buffalo Sabres
14 Florida Panthers
15 New York Islanders
16 Calgary Flames
17 Winnipeg Jets

Well, you are on par with the jets and panthers, just in a much higher tier

Are we still easily a bottom 10 team with no chance at the playoffs 🤔

Wild how far they've come with no upgrades. Genuinely wonder what the key to their success was. You also said there were a fringe wildcard team, so we're both wrong.

Yeah I definitely didn’t expect us to be this good. But we did significantly upgrad our defense (adding Hronek, Cole, Soucy, Zadorov and buying out OEL) and improved our depth players (Blueger, Suter, and Lafferty, while Joshua and Hoglander also improved a ton this season). Boeser bouncing back and having a career year has been huge as well

Seems like everything came into place at the right time. Even Demko seems like he's came into his own this year. Someone even Myers is having a decent year. Everything is clicking.

Don't see Roy being put on a carousel. He should spend the entire year in Laval. Pearson will be a 4th liner for us. Let him play Top line PK. Also brings good leadership and SC pedigree. Armia should spend the entire season in the pressbox.

They need to keep Roy in Laval. Hutson will be given a chance in March but Laval needs to be good for development down the line.
Roy cant be exposed to this mess especially as it looks like they will start selling with no trade asset around the league as valuable as Monahan whom has more points than Elias Lindholm (1 goal last 24 games)
