They may have spent a lot, but I think they are a bigger and heavier team that continues being skilled. Ovechkin, Wilson, Mantha - that's going to be difficult to stop in the playoffs, not counting the skill they have, and the grit they have in their bottom 6. That's a team built for the playoffs. If they can bring it all together, I think they win the cup.

I can’t help but think of the Flames when I look at teams like Washington and Tampa. There is no way we can stack up against these beasts.
Just to get there we would have Vegas and Colorado to get through.
Just makes me sad or envious; I don’t know. Tough cheering for the Flames some days.
