Some take-aways from this team.
- Draisaitl is better than advertised and not just a product of playing with McDavid.
- Pettersson is gonna be a superstar
- Rittich, who many scoffed at even including when Kuemper went down, was by far the best goalie in the 3 on 3, getting the W in both games and having a .900 save percentage in game one and .750 in game 2, best of any goalie in the tourney.
- Hertl was really really good, and he made it look effortless. If San Jose can rebuild around him they will reload soon.
The Pacific division is, in my opinion, the most competitive in the league. Should be a battle to the finish to see which of the top 5 make the playoffs and who will win the division.
