With bones system, defensively I think they could be there, and some hungry kids, the key hole I believe is the laine scoring in bunches, hoping Big Bad Brad comes fast. Jets issue is Lowry/wheeler split up in bottom 6 and a couple viable lines without injuring too many egos. Then that 2rw hole that could snipe 30 plus. 8 deep on the blueline Hopefully makes up for high end right handed dman.

In the Western Conference MAYBE.

no because Vancouver declines

There are a few things common with most champs (so they say)

1. Hot goalie
2. Major contribution from a rookie
3. ?? (Special teams I think).

If Hellebuyck plays well and Perfetti steps up, why not?
