The way the north division is set up, I don't think it is surprising that the top 4 teams will be the ones with the better goalies. Thankfully we have Markstrom (thanks Van) so it is giving the team more runway to get things sorted. Essentially we have some into the season with change all across the roster (every forward line and all three pairings). Thankfully Tanev and Hanifin have shown instant chemistry (Thanks again Van), as the year goes on think they will be able to escalate their game. We all see glimpses of it, just need some consistency.
I just think the expectations are a couple notches higher then what we have seen.
