They could finish with the worst powerplay in the league.
Does the team with the worst man advantage ever make the post-season?
That seems awfully difficult.

I feel like we would've seen signs if they were going to fade into the bottom 10.
I thought the trip through Vegas and SLC was the start of it (like every one else), but it turned out to be the outlier. Now I'm not sure I'm seeing it. There's too much fight in the group. But maybe the talent level will catch up with them around the 40-60 game mark and they'll find their way there.
Given that the PP and PK can't get much worse and they're still picking up points, it throws more doubt on the bottom 10 finish for me. Guys like Kuzmenko, Sharangovich and Kadri won't stay cold.
