Colorado gets a ton of offence from the blueline. Makar & Toews are both PPG+ this season. Girard is their 3rd highest scoring defender and he's on pace for 50 points. We have one defender better than that currently in MoMo, on pace for 72 points.
Also, Kadri has decided that he's a fucking superstar this year (55 points in 38 games, a 118 point pace). It's kind of hard to beat that when the team already had a super line that has found that temporary but oh so beautiful super line magic.
Florida also gets way more offence from the blueline than we do, with Ekblad, Weeger, Montour, & Forsling all on pace for 37 points or more (again, we have 1 better than that). Up front, their "big 4" (Barkov, Hubie, Reinhart, Duclair) are all at around PPG or better.
Shorter answer: Both teams have forward out performing their career norms and pushing paces that match (or beat) what we're getting from our 4 this season, while at the same time having way more blueline production.
An Interesting stat is that Colorado is 2nd and Florida is 3rd in HDSH%, Toronto is 23rd. Their HD chances are ending up in the net more often, and ours aren't. Whether that's luck or lack of finishing talent through out the lineup though, I dunno.

Yeah I was going to point that out about the Avs - their 5v5 scoring is very good but not crazy. And even their PP scoring rate is also just very good, not great. But they get a shitload of PPs.
Meanwhile the Panthers are just overwhelming offensively 5v5 right now but just mediocre on the PP (but they also get a ton of PPs so their total PP production is still good).
a game managed playoff series would level out those differences quite a bit.
5v5:
FLA 3.52gf/60 (#1), 3.10xgf/60 (#1), 9.44sh% (#4) - on pace for 230 goals
COL 3.23gf/60 (#5), 2.52xgf/60 (#12), 9.44sh% (#3) - on pace for 206 goals
TOR 2.69gf/60 (#11), 2.92xgf/60 (#3), 8.06sh% (#18) - on pace for 179 goals
PP
COL 8.93gf/60 (#9), 8.41xgf/60 (#9), 14.89sh% (#10) - on pace for 74 goals
FLA 7.71gf/60 (#12), 6.44xgf/60 (#23), 15.77sh% (#8) - on pace for 55 goals
TOR 12.06gf/60 (#1), 10.12xgf/60 (#2), 16.68sh% (#4) - on pace for 72 goals
so of the 2 its actually the Panthers that look scarier offensively imo.
then again, defensively at 5v5, the Avs rank 5th in xga/60, while the Panthers rank 20th. (Leafs rank 10th, but closer to 2nd than to league average).

Good thing we don't lose often.
Just that when we do, we lose BIG. Rask/Raycroft, Marleau/1st, Kadri/Kerf&Barrie, Kessel/Seguin&Hamilton.
Go big or go home, I say.

We only lost two of those trades

We pretty much erased almost every shred of evidence Lou Lam ever worked for us in the end, aside from Auston and Timmy. Scouts, management, coaches, poof. Gone.

If he’s allowed to leave the red “no-contact” jersey on in real games, maybe he’ll actually be able to stay healthy for a decent stretch!

I hope someone lets him know that ice can be slippery.
