- the penalty kill is fine, and an example of why PK% is a flawed stat.
- most probably, they will go on a classic "Iginla Era" run to finish outside a wild card spot and outside a top draft pick. Might as well suck it up now - this roster just isn't "bad enough" for Matthews and the Finns even if they've dug themselves a massive hole.

I'm not sure it's safe to say any of the points you made. We're average at best for goal scoring and most of our offense comes from our top line of F/D...which is a worry if injuries hit. Goaltending is pretty much worst in the league so I'm not sure how much worse it has to get before we consider it a gaping hole. And our penalty kill is last, so even if it's not reflective of our play, it's hard to argue it's a strength.
