You can data mine for positives and definitely find a bunch but big picture this doesn’t look like a cup winning team unless multiple good forwards are brought in
One thing that works in Brad’s favor this year is that the sellers in the East are basically decided earlier than normal

Expectations should be relative to reality. I wanted this team to make big changes. I hated this offseason and thought it was the worst. This team obviously is better than they showed last year and my opinion of Gaudreau has improved fairly significantly this season. I feel a lot better about the blueline with Andersson’s step forward, Hanifin playing solid and Kylington starting to breakout all of these guys are 25. I am happy with the goaltending and it gives me hope this team could make some noise come playoff time.
Who knows maybe in 3 more weeks this team continues to slide and are outside looking in but they have played a style and a way this year that gives me hope that this season will be different.
