I dunno, maybe they are connected and maybe they are not. I don't know if the end result would have been different and they won the cup, but who knows? Looking back at the finals, it does appear that Florida pretty much forcing players like Bob to get off the ice and away from the rink played a role. Edmonton was practicing powerplays and came out flat.
I do know when a player like McDavid says "I over trained last summer, started skating too early. You can't win the cup in September but you can put yourself in a bad spot early" I pay attention to comments like that cause I think it's indicative of subtle changes that may be happening.
In the end, who knows what will happen with Leon and his contract? He could continue to produce at incredible numbers or he could turn into a Huberdaeu style contract that becomes a team killer.
