The difference is Kipper. In late February, Kipper was almost ready to return and Feaster expected him to quickly round into form and carry this team. In retrospect, that was the wrong call, but it wasn't unreasonable to think that he'd give us a boost considering that we were managing to play .500 hockey with Irving, MacDonald and Taylor in net. Once it was obvious that Kipper would add to the team's problems rather than make up for them, there was really no choice but to be sellers.
