It all depends on how well Korpisalo plays and how well the coach does. The top 9 and top 4 are very good. Man for man this roster is better than Boston, Florida, Montreal, and Detroit. The competition in the Atlantic for Ottawa will be Tampa, Toronto and Buffalo.

Boston still have excellent top 4 D and goaltending. Their depth and current centers are way below most playoff teams though.

It could be but coaching is still problematic as already mentioned

Health is a big factor too, need to avoid key injuries because the depth is absolutely horrendous. Need to keep games and playing time low for Hamonic, Kelly, McEwen and

Switch Greig and Kubalik, can't put that much pressure on Norris to carry 2 wingers defensively as he just missed a whole season.
