To be fair, the have one powerhouse line, directly as a result of a powerhouse player. But Maroon and Draisaitl are quickly making Charelli's cap situation much more difficult. I think if you really zero in on that one line and can limit them somewhat, they are definitely beatable. The 3M line is elite defensively, I think they would do a good job shutting down McD and his cronies. This is not the same team in mindset/confidence/systems play that played the Oilers earlier this year. They have a great top line but little secondary scoring, terrible defensive depth and a solid goalie who's being overworked. They are beatable by pretty much any Western team the will face in the first round.
