This team has a weak middle six and a very average fourth line.
Weak defensive depth. The top of the defensive depth chart is outstanding but maybe not suited for playoff hockey.
In short this team has an elite first line and is average in most other aspects.
Without an elite goalie does this team even win a playoff round against a good team? They can blow out a middling or weak team that barely makes the playoffs.
But if they match up against a playoff built team that is a lower seed due to not lighting up the regular season it will be a tough slog.
Dallas or St Louis can absolutely beat this current Avs team in a 7 game series.
