However, I would say that you should remove the worst outliers on either side for better results. Edmonton shouldn't even enter the statistical field, and probably should discount the vegas' and seattles' of the league for lack of time. Detroit can be the opposite statistical example to Edmonton. Re run the numbers without those.

The sample size is already tiny. Removing the high and low teams would pretty much make it useless. Also, EDM wasn't the only team with 7, and DET wasn't the only team with 0, so they aren't outliers. Seattle was excluded, but VGS was left in because they won a cup and have been in the league for more than 5 years.
