Talbot wasn't great. McDavid wasn't great. Draisaitl out.
That's a loss.
This is a one line team.
Last year the D was adequate over all. Not great, adequate. That's it. This year, one of the better D is missing and hasn't been replaced. Chia bet on kids.
Last year the offence outside of McDavid was non existent. Terrible.
This year, a proven 20 goal scorer has been removed and not replaced. Chia bet on RNH and Lucic improving and, of course, kids.
Last year we relied on Talbot to an insane degree. This year, he's been poor.
Last season was a season where everything went right. Seems silly to count on that continuing but that's what Chia did.
It is definitely too early to judge, it can easily swing the other way. So nobody should panic but many people are seeing the expected results of a poor offseason and it's concerning.
