I agree with Bingo, though. Something feels off for this group. Perhaps the chaos surrounding Peters in November was a bigger hurdle for them to get past than we thought.

That’s my biggest takeaway, in that there is one elite team in the West and they just win the Cup.
After them it’s a cluster of teams that are all missing pieces that hinder them from elevating to the top tier of the conference.
Last season proves we have pieces that can push us to that level but we need more depth to sustain it.
St. Louis got some gifts along the way that helped speed things up for them that hasn’t been the case for us (O’Reilly, Schenn).
How those two got had for negative value roster players, B prospects and picks is beyond me.
