Crazy to look at this thread in Nov/Dec and how bad they were. Everyone was saying this pick is getting deferred to 2020. You just never know in this league, things can change so quickly.
Unless you're the Sabres. We've been stuck picking top 10 forever it seems.

As some stated, the Blues were always a good team being held back by terrible goaltending and coaching. The underlying numbers showed this despite the mid season standings. Same with Carolina.

Carolina's metrics extend back even farther. It's part of why in desperation they signed Darling to that stupid contract - if they could get a save, they'd be in the playoffs. No one should consider what they did any sort of Cinderella story if they both to look deeper.
