So much depends on Sid and Malkin. Point/game is great, but is it realistic they play a full season? That is an incredibly old roster.

You can rebuild for a long time and not get a player as good as 36 yo Sid or 37 yo Geno, let alone two of them.
The rest of the top 9 looks pretty decent for the playoffs. The top 4 has a super high ceiling. Goaltending is a big question mark, but the ceiling is there. It's all a bit patchwork, but not much different than when they won their 3 cups.
