With about 30% of the season played, here are the top-3 teams who have surprised me the MOST.

Clearly better than I expected (I didn’t think they’d be above 0.700):
Washington
Winnipeg
Minnesota

Clearly worse than I expected (I didn’t think they’d be below 0.500):
Nashville
Pittsburgh
Ottawa

Minnesota has done a great job at drafting and building a strong team internally. They nail the draft every single year. The Faber trade was also huge for them. I thought Winnipeg would be a playoff team, but not this good, but they are starting to slip. Obviously, you can't stay that hot all season. But they have a lot of depth and 4 good lines. The PLD trade set them up nicely. Guys like Perfetti and Heinola also coming into their own.
Washington is the biggest surprise. McClellan has done a great job there the last few years. Another strong drafting team, and Chychrun for Jensen was a massive upgrade for them. Of course, Ovi having a resurgence helps.

Mason Marchment with a pretty cool goal.



Also surprised to see he has the 2nd most points on Dallas with 24 points in 22 games. Is on track to have a season comparable to his 2021-22 campaign with us, good for him.

It will be hilarious when those 4 nation idiots choose a lot of our roster to add miles to those legs

Barky, Lundy, Lousty, and Mikkola

Forsling

Reinhart and Verhaeghe with Ekky and Bennett invited to be extras

Half the line up pretty much

I still imagine a Marchment - Bennett - Tkachuk 2nd line. *bites lip*
