  4. Healthy Monohan and fully training camp-ed Gaudreau to start the season, so supposedly no slow start;
  5. Offseason "losses" Bouwma & Chiasson replaced by Jankowski & Jagr;

Given all of that, if you believe Guutzen is a good coach, why would you not expect this year's team to be better than the one whose 94 point season was anchored by a 5-10-1 start??
Great response dude.
