Maybe.
Not sure I'm 100% sold on that.
I think Huberdeau has found a new way to play that's sustainable. I think Kadri will age well.
But if Andersson is traded and we see any slip at all from Wolf next year (or team defending down a top four defenseman) then this team is what it is ... near the bottom in expected goals and shooting percentage.
That spells many more losses than we saw this year.
