The Panthers were on another level in terms of team defense this season and it's kept up in the playoffs. Yes, Edmonton has played exceptionally well and Stu Skinner is hot at the right time. Yes, the past two rematches have been split. I still think the Panthers have the edge, especially with today's Hyman news.

what happened to the stars offense?

Shooting regression of 2.2% from the regular season has something to do with it for sure. They also really weren't that good of a possesion team all season long. 101.6 PDO is notable. Had great goaltending and good shooting luck. The latter fell apart and they haven't played with the structure this season to overcome it.

If St Louis keeps their "WTF" line together, what does it take to resign Faksa? If he signs elsewhere, who is the likely internal replacement? Sundqvist? Alexandrov?

Alexandrov, I'd say. But that Faksa extension should be attainable, probably something between $1MM and $1.5MM for a couple of years.

Alright folks, that's the top of the hour. Thanks for the great questions today!
