Is their defense better? They are replacing Klefbom (their best Dman in their own zone) with Barrie, who is terrible defensively, but a PP specialist. Well they already had an historically good PP last year, so I will bet that, even with Barrie, it doesn't do as well this year.
In net - a major problem last year - they come back with the some duo, except Smith is now 38 years old.
This team is not better than last year. And last year, Draisaitl had a career year.
