I was optimistic as the signings were happening in the off-season and saw a legitimate attempt at building an identity here. I am even more optimistic now that I see the defencemen moving the puck up the ice faster (it isn't Brodie/Giordano/Hamilton esque, but it is working!).

As I said in last night's PGT, I still believe this team has more room to improve. Though their metrics have been rather sparkling, I do think they will improve a bit further yet as I do think that players are still figuring out their roles and the team overall is still learning (as Darryl himself stated in the post-game press conference).

I expect a damn exciting year where they at least challenge for 1st in the division. This is huge, as I don't see a contender in the west outside of Colorado.
