I voted yes to balance out the early results - but honestly, flip a coin?
I love talking hypotheticals in hockey, but usually it's based around individual results. ie - how would player X do with no injury, or with a different linemate, or different, era, etc. That's a lot easier to speculate on.
It's so hard with team results. Because the truth is - the 2023 San Jose Sharks may have beaten the 2023 Golden Knights in a 7 game series if they get hot at the right time. It's so hard to predict team results, any team can beat any team.
Anyways - I'll say McDrai step up and lead their team to victory. But again....is Draisaitl injured? Is McDavid injured? Lots of x-factors.
