Top 5 in shot metrics, which erodes when you look at quality. But solid in goal prevention by team metrics.
The lack of skill certainly plays a role in it.
They've seen a correction from last season where things went better than they probably should have. Soon we should see a correction from everything going wrong early this year.
Not a playoff team.
But also not a 32nd overall team.

What if we trade our 3 vets though (as a result of this brutal start). Without Kadri, Coleman, and Andersson, does that still hold?
