Not arguing with this at all.
But they added Zary and Sharangovich this year, minus Toffoli and Zadorov for about half the year.
And better goaltending.
Last year finished with 93 points, this year on 84 point pace.
If they are over achieving this year, what does that say about last year? Maybe last year's system focused on man on man d zone and shot volume was actually gaining them points.
I do think that Lewis and Lucic were quite underappreciated.
