The Montreal cup run was a lightning in a bottle run orchestrated by the best goalie in the game, who was then hurt and unavailable for the following season, and they lost a whole bunch of other key players on top of that.
As mentioned before, this will be a year where more teams than usual will be tanking due to the deep draft.
