This is a strange way to put it, because it's based on math, and not based on how the team is drastically different under Boudreau.
The team under Boudreau is performing at a 100+ point pace, they've allowed the fewest goals in the league, and are quietly posting up an elite second half.
I sort of think it'll be Vancouver + Dallas in the wildcard spots, with California and Nashvillle dropping out.
And I'm not a fan of any of those teams. Just an outside casual observer.
Also... this is HOCKEY. It's about going for it. You ain't getting younger. Can't say for certain you'll be better next year.
