However, I don't really expect this type of success next season. The parity in this league is unbelievable, last year Boston and LA were President Trophy winners and Stanley Cup winners, this season they didn't make it.
We also had a career season from almost everyone and guys emerge as legit NHL players who nobody really thought of, it was a magical season that can't be replicated.

This being a magical season that may not be replicated in the sense that no one was expecting it. Going in to next year, expectations will be higher. I get that part of it.
As for "career seasons from almost everyone", I hear this a lot. Wouldn't that be obvious when most of our key guys are still very young in their careers and nowhere near the typical point for their peak?
