How is Edmonton in the top 4?
They have a guy that is going to retire on the 3rd line, a junior player on the 4th line, 2 bottom pairing d-men in the top 4, and two guys on the bottom pairing that have a chance of not making their teams opening night rosters. Not to mention a 2C that is coming off a brutal season. 32pts -28 +/-
Because that 2C is 21 years old and would likely bounce back in that role. DeBrincat is turning pro this year and could possibly make the Hawks out of camp. And the defense is still 6 NHL level defensemen despite them being the team's glaring weakness.
I had Edmonton to three in the West because they look strong. I had Tampa Bay missing the playoffs because they were a one line team.
