The added playoffs experience of all players, the center depth, the depth on D, and the commitment of the team to go for it in the playoffs are where I see improvement.

Point totals depend on way too many factors to predict, but I do feel like there's now a better alignment than there has been in many years between all levels of the organization that they're in it to go for a championship this year, and that's pretty big. Sutter came back for a championship, but I'm not confident that's what our stars were playing for last year. This year, ownership, Treliving, Sutter, and the new stars all seem very clear about what this team is expected to play for. That's pretty promising.
