They are one of those middling veteran teams that could be good or bad. Thornton's game dropped off big time last year. Less points than Backlund and at 38 it's probably a trend. Marleau's 27 goals haven't been replaced. They will go as far as Burns can remain in the MVP race as last year once he slowed down the team dropped off big time. If he slumps or has injury issues you can stick a fork in them IMO.
