I wouldn't say that's being better than expected. That's just not sucking as bad

I personally see us as 4-6 and the isles in the 11-14 range.

Was Linus Ullmark or Cal Petersen not available?

Also surprised that Ristolainen qualified after all the NHL time he got last season.

For last place teams I'd probably guess something like

Florida, Calgary, Buffalo, Carolina, Winnipeg, Ottawa, Oilers, Nucks.

The team always played crappy in front of him. Maybe their game plan.
