Gaudreau-Lindholm is such a great pair, and having a top line that can put up some big numbers will be huge if it keeps up. One of the biggest issues the last couple of years has been playing a first period like that and coming away with a 1-0 lead instead of a 3-0 lead.
Also really liked Kylington's game. He brings a lot of what we've been missing in Brodie's absence, between his escapability in his own zone and his ability to recover. At this point I want to leave him and Tanev together for the next 20 games and see where it leads.
Team looks like it has some potential this year if both of those things hold up. Just gotta find some middle-6 forward combos that work better and suddenly this is a real dangerous team.
