I put worse, but I was torn between that and "same".
The team has 4 solid lines, a decent d-group, and if they can get even slightly above average goaltending from Price (Who has been below league average in each of the past two regular seasons), they'll be a solid team.
I'd just question how it'll translate in a very top heavy division. IMO, Tampa and Florida are locks for a playoff spot, leaving the 3rd spot to one of Toronto, Boston, or Montreal. I'd peg Toronto as the better of the 3 regular season-wise mainly because of the question mark in net for Boston, and their lack of a 2C, which could potentially leave the Habs fighting for a wildcard spot with Boston, and a bunch of really solid teams in the Metro division.
Every game is definitely going to count.
