Is McDavid overachieving due to division reallignment?

[Albatros]

Ottawa is not nearly as bad as people on here make them out to be.

3.82 goals against per game, the worst in the league since the 1995/96 San Jose Sharks.

Did you take out the Oilers production before you figured that? Because my point was that the Oilers were the only team that dominated Ottawa

 

[Albatros]

They're still the worst team in the league even without the games against Edmonton, as Toronto, Winnipeg, and Vancouver also averaged more than that 3.82 against them.

Buffalo says hi. And picking the top 4 teams against them doesnt really prove your point. what is their ppg against all the other teams combined not including Edmonton?

 

[Albatros]

Buffalo has averaged 3.47 goals against which is bad but not historically so unlike Ottawa.

Goals for vs. other teams (compared to vs. Ottawa):
Edmonton 3.04 (-1.82)
Toronto 3.23 (-0.60)
Winnipeg 3.11 (-1.29)
Vancouver 2.39 (-1.61)

Edmonton has been padding their stats against Ottawa more than anyone, although Vancouver comes relatively close.
