But yeah Florida is in trouble.
The 8th best team in the East is on a 97.5 point pace (Islanders). If that holds they'll need 98 points which is .689 hockey the rest of the way.
Only four teams managed that through all of last season, they'll essentially need to duplicate their President's Trophy pace from last year the rest of the way.
And no 1st and 3rd round pick to boot

I guess Florida plays a style which inflates offensive numbers a little, we’re seeing that with Tkachuk, Bennett and Huberdeau. But how much of their problem would be fixed with just average goaltending?
And they need Barkov to be durable.
