This Nashville heater is a bit surprising to me. They don't strike me as being a juggernaut. Josi is an elite player, and Forsberg is a legitimate top line talent. Saros is a really good number 1, but he has been a bit hot and cold this year. But after them it's O'Reilly, Nyquist, and depth. But I think they're far enough in now where an eventual regression to the mean won't take them out.
It would be something if Winnipeg pulled off finishing first and ended up playing Vegas as the 8 seed. Who would have predicted that with how last season ended for those teams.
