This is gonna be a rough year for Edmonton. This alignment does them no favors at all, and playing only 6 teams all year means the other teams can really focus down on each opponent to develop gameplans, player matchups etc. I think teams will be more effective shutting down McAvi and Raisatl since that's all their opponents need to focus on, and finding weaknesses in their D and goaltending is like finding sand at a beach.

Without Klefbom, their D core is already weak, and shallow.
Their Goaltending is bottom 5 in the league.
A compact season with games so often means likely less being able to lean on their only two forwards who can do anything offensively. An injury to either one virtually guarantees them a terrible season, they are mostly guaranteed a terrible season even WITH both players.
