Better than the Avs by a lot.
And they were pretty decent defensively.
They are, unfortunately, a legit cup contender.

I don't know what stat you're going by, but if you are talking about xGF%, the LA Kings were 4th in the NHL in that stat, and they were the worst western team to make the playoffs. Flyers were 7th in the NHL and didn't even make the playoffs. So it's kind of a misleading stat.
The Oilers have McDrai to match MacKinnon/Rantanen. But they do not have a Makar. They likely lose a series vs the Avs.
