They can rest and coast some players if they had to.

I think McDavid and the Vegas guys have cushion because nobody's catching them.

You look at that, like LA's four points back, they just lost Fiala.

Yeah, they might, you know, they got Panarin, it might get them going, but is Nashville going to jump the, you know, San Jose's 58 points.

Utah, like you look at Seattle.

To me, Vegas and Edmonton do have some luxury based on, again, the division they play in.

That's what keeps coming back.

So you better make sure those guys are ready to play when it matters for them, not the first two games coming back off of when you've got 25 games left.

I would make sure they're healthy and feeling good before the stretch run.
