Rock bottom was last year. Should do a little better in the standings this season on account of:
-Sedins can't get worse, already replacement level 5 on 5
-Slight rebound from Eriksson
-PP improvement
-Tons of players in their prime or early 20s, with pain filled seasons 1-3 behind them
-More NHL quality depth at every position
-Conceivably have six 20 goal scorers (not including Hank and Gagner who should do better than .5 PPG)
Goaltending is the only area I can see being a little worse but that is system and overall D competence dependent and hard to predict.
Onwards and upwards.
