Very satisfying year 1 of the rebuild. I feel unless some game breakers are brought I. THis summer the team takes a step back next year and I am fine with that considering the prize for last place could mean McDavid or Eichel.
Total team buy in for the whole season is a huge reason they over achieved. Credit for that goes mostly to Hartley who has preached and teached all year. Gio taking a huge step from being a decent 2-4 guy to legit #1 helps. Russell, Backlund, Huddler all having strong years has helped. Monahan proving to be the real deal has been another factor
