The Heat are a better team on defense for sure.
We'll have to wait and see on forward, but they definitely have more talent and more speed. How long it takes for the youngsters to start to play well is the question.
Goaltending is definitely a question mark. They had solid tending last year and again, we are just going to have to wait to see how the new guys play. I have a feeling though that a big guy with good quickness like Berra is going to eat up the AHL.
Definitely some question marks, but this team is way more talented, deeper and faster than last year.
My guess would be a slow start but a really strong team in the second half.
