My gut says EDM could/maybe/luckily win two games, because they are very talented, and McDavid is just ridiculously talented and fast. But DAL is just the overall better team.
Agreed. Edmonton has the two best players on the ice in McDavid and Draisaitl, but Dallas has the better overall roster. I do think that for Edmonton to win those two will have to take over games and put the team on their backs.
