Outside of Varlamov I don't see much reason for them to drop off. Full year of Duchene, MacKinnon getting better and Landeskog/Duchene/ROR all likely to improve or at least stay same.

they were the 5th worst team in the league in shots for/against
and had a really high PDO (shooting % + save %)
most teams that have that one year, regress the following year (like the Leafs from 2 years ago to last year)
