Their elite power play for starters. An ability to raise their game when needed. A confidence holland will improve the team with a trade or two, even if it’s not an optimal trade contract wise, but one that will improve the team this year regardless. A young goalie who’s playing well, and a backup who can turn it around and get hot. As stated their D concerns me as it always does, but we fly by the offence and outscore a lot of our defensive mistakes. I think they tighten up as the year goes though. Kane comes back, hopefully he will be somewhat back to form. A good coach, which you probably don’t agree with, but the players respect him and his game plan. And mostly the Connor Mcdavid factor which I think you guys way underplay. Add a Draisaitl Nuge and Hyman, I like our chances.

As I was saying, other than the obvious two.
1) So that cancels out the power play right there, because it's nothing without the obvious two. I think we can all agree on that.
2) Ability to raise game when needed. Once again, isn't happening with out the obvious two. The ability to raise their game when needed is a definite fear for opposing teams, but only occurs when they feel like it,
and only involves offence. Defence, forget about it.
3) Young goalie playing well. Well, he's going to have to because the other one's ship sailed it looks like. I hope he can handle Markstrom type minutes better than Markstrom can, because that's how he's gonna ride the rest of the way. But as you say, you "fly by Mcdrai offence", so there is that I guess.
4) Confidence in Holland helping team with a trade or two - Ruh Roh
