4 more are only 3, so that's 27 of 31 teams, which is pretty remarkable considering how complex the schedule is.
The Oilers, Rangers, and Coyotes are of course way out of line with everyone else, but on the other end of the spectrum, so is Vancouver.

Exactly. That chart is sorted by differential.
Three positive outliers. (EDM, NYR, ARI)
From LA through STL is within +/-2 (22 teams)
A handful of -3 and a -4.
One strong negative outlier (Van)
The conspiracy theory version
- league wants poster boy McDavid to succeed
- league needs big market Rangers who just blew it up to look respectable
- Bettman will never give up on the Yotes
- Vancouver, the Sedins are retired and you need a new face of the franchise. Come on down and get your #1 overall pick!
