But for the life of me, I can't say "look at X on Las Vegas, he won't be like that next year". Looking at Karlsson, I just can't say he won't be just as good next year. Fleury will be Fleury next year. Maybe the D won't be as good but I can't say why that would be.

I think the key is their offensive production. I totally agree, it didn't look like they had any underlying stats that were poor or covered up by great goaltending or luck or whatever ever else.
The key for me is whether or not virtually their entire top 9 can continue to perform far above their previous personal best seasons. If even half those guys revert back to their old numbers, or somewhere in between even, it is likely that Vegas is fighting for a playoff spot and the 2nd round instead of winning the division and fighting for the cup.
