Yes, absolutely, I expect more improvement from Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Taylor Hall than from Max Pacioretty and Lars Eller.

Gionta and Markov are standard injuries. That's our 3rd best winger and 2nd best dman. If Price and Subban had been injured I'd be buying into the "next year when we have no injuries" mode of projections.
They have much better forward prospects for sure. We have a young star goaltender, a young no1 defensemen and a number of good defense prospects. Edmonton has star power but as of now they are not well built to actually compete.
