Same applies to SEA, PHI, CGY for sure. Also there are teams in denial stage like NYR or TOR. LA as well. I get that rebuilds are bad for business, but is forever mediocrity better?

Strome missed first 16 games due to injury and Anaheim was not good at 5v5 during that stretch. Since he came back I think they are above the water at 5v5. So maybe this helps his sG too.

Cronin deployed Vatrano-Strome-Terry against opposition top lines. Probably it has something to do with bad defensive impact.
Under Q he barely plays. 3rd/4th line minutes as a wing. Not really noticeable whole lot. Sure he is used better now but it doesn't explain defense excellence. Interesting.

I'm very curious to see how Sennecke gonna look next year before jumping to any conclusions but he really is the best ANA offensive weapon for last month or so. I fully expect him to climb this list next year.
