Auston Matthews, William Nylander, and John Tavares (who hit 500 career goals) still produce, but finishing dead last in the Atlantic finally cracked the "core four" era. The defensive metrics were brutal, bottom-five in high-danger chances allowed per 60, and goaltending behind Anthony Stolarz never stabilized. Pressure on Brad Treliving and the front office is at an all-time high heading into a transformational summer.
