Seattle does not have a single forward that can drive a top 6 line. Only Gourde and McCann who can drive playing 3C.
Seattle does not have a single defenseman who you would trust on the top pair, and only Giordano and Dunn with any notable offensive talent.
I will eat every hat I own if they crack 205 goals in 82 games (2.5 goals per game)
Seattle has at least 8 forwards that were on pace for 20 goals last year, and some that are high 20s. And Dunn and Gio can bring some scoring from the back end. This team is very young and most players are pre-peak. If they get improvements from just a few guys, they'll crack 205 goals easy enough. Plus they have a vezina finalist goalie and an up and coming 1B goalie.
Seattle fans rightly think this is at least a bubble team, and possibly better than that.
