I had totally written them off and thought they would miss the playoffs this year. Instead....
1. Protas, 2019 3rd round pick emerges as a 30 goal and near PPG player.
2. PLD finally gets his groove back.
3. Chychrun shows that he is a legit top pairing d-man, once he's able to leave bad teams.
4. Logan Thompson proves that he is indeed a #1 goalie.
5. None of the vets take a step back, including Ovy, who somehow increases his scoring pace from last year.
Did not see that coming.

There's definitely some volatility there given the histories of PLD, Chychrun, and Strome. One, two, or all three could revert back to pumpkins and time will always win the battle vs the veteran players.
