Quoting: KSIxSKULLS
They won't get worse, I just think the teams around them got better than they did. I also don't see that pace with Boudreau for the full year.
What teams around them got better?
Calgary remains the same IF AND ONLY IF the new parts gel with the team.
Edmonton got worse. Campbell was good in October, GODLY in November, good in December, then below .900 save percentage for the next three months. His overall Saves Above Expected was NEGATIVE for the year. Smith was positive.
Los Angeles got some key parts, but they are relying on a 36-year old goaltender who had his best season in four years. That's unlikely to last.
Vegas is a mess and will be missing several key pieces for weeks, if not months.
The other three teams in the Pacific are so far back that they won't matter.
The biggest new signing for Dallas was Marchment, which isn't a great deal, while the lost Klingberg.
Nashville got better.
