A simple question: Has the Isles early season success, or any other factor, changed your expectations from where they were at the start of the season about how they will finish?
Going into the season I thought that the Isles would be an 80 to 85 pt. team and as much as I am enjoying the ride right now, I still think that talent, or lack thereof, ultimately finds it's level. So my prediction has not really changed much, though I may have underestimated the Trotz effect and a more consistent Brock Nelson might push me to believe that 85- 90 pts is possible. I still think Barzy is going to have a bit of a sophomore slump - nothing dramatic - and that Greiss and Lehner cannot continue to put up the kinds of numbers we're seeing now (though they will still have better than expected seasons).
Curious about how others see it and why?
