Stephenson is in the lineup. He's an excellent penalty killer and creates good offense when he's in the top 9. I think we're better off with Gersich in a fourth line role for now, but we should roll all four lines to make sure that he's getting the ice time to make an impact.

i dont disagree with you ......i think having a solid rotation of guys playing and keeping everyone fresh is going to help....

Oh, that was Tampa 2016.
Even so, they had the chance to complete the comeback and choked, and in 2016, they were supposed to be so much better than Pittsburgh, and they took a 1-0 series lead, but then got defeated in 6. THEY’RE CHOKERS! THEY CANT BEAT THE PENS!

Presidents' Trophy-winning teams reach the Stanley Cup Final - and win it - more than any other seed in the playoffs.

Stanley Cup Winners: 8
Lost Stanley Cup Final: 4
Lost Conference Finals: 5
Lost Second Round: 7
Lost First Round: 6

so in the last 15 years...... lets not out date ourselves

3 teams that won the president trophy have won the stanley cup...........thats 20% of the time the pres trophy team won........

2 red wings
1 blackhawks

and in 30 years that you listed ( plus last year) only 8 teams that have won the president trophy in 31 years

so roughly 75% of the president trophy winning teams are choke artists?

I'm just pointing out that winning the President's trophy (unsurprisingly) gives you the best odds of winning the cup relative to finishing any other spot. It's not really a novel idea. I'm not calling any team a "choke artist", but when you said "very few president trophy winning teams actually win the cup" it's kind of a false narrative. Very few teams win the cup, period, but winning the most in the regular season gives you the best odds at winning it all based on the last 30 years.

imo 25% over the last 30 is very low considering that the best team usually wins right? so the best team doesnt win the cup 75% of the time that seem extremely low....again that my opinion....it also show how hard it is to actually win a cup ......and saying winning the pres trophy gives you the best chance to win is pretty obvious considering that makes you the best team in the nhl......my point is that just bc you finish with the pres trophy doesntgive you an auto cup win......its actually way less than 50% of the time
