Which is why it is eminently sensible to conclude that an improved SP will result in an improved standing.
The Canucks are far worse because they are probably one of the least-offensively skilled teams in the NHL. They dropped by more than half-a-goal/game in their production from last year to this year, and are not likely to improve in that regard any time soon.
