Much as most of the predictions will likely be a result of the Isles' underwhelming showing in that first round, it should really be just as much about the Bolts' play. Especially Bishop, who looks totally on point.

I agree that Tavares is probably the best player, but you could make an argument for Victor Hedman. Not to mention Johnson plays above himself in the postseason (or has so far in his career), and the Isles just do not have anyone like Kucherov.
