Quoting: Caniac2000
Boston's defense and goaltending is better than Buffalo, Ottawa and Florida. Florida is the only team here with a player that compares in skill to Pasta, and even though the other two have some dangerous top six weapons, both have MAJOR defensive and goaltending holes. Korpisalo and Levi compared to Swayman and Ullmark? It's not close. They're going to make the playoffs, even if they pick up 40 points less. Bergeron and Krejci would cost them 20 wins, they'd still comfortably make the postseason.
Is it ?
Dahlin, Power, Samuelsson, Clifton, Johnson, Jokiharju
McAvoy, Lindholm, Grcelzyk, Carlo, Shattenkirk, Forbort
Chabot, Sanderson, Chychrun, Zub, Brannstrom, Hamonic/JBD
It’s not that much better if at all. And I’d take the offence of Buffalo and Ottawa over Boston very easily
