Kipper was horrifically awful last year (one of the worst goaltenders in the league), No kind of defense (reasonable or otherwise) nor offense could have brought a team into the playoffs with him playing how he played.

I was referring to the last full season which was clearly stated and contextually confirmed by having Hannan in the second pairing.
Last year was a write off for both Sarich and SOB.
I did not make up the quotas for small players.... but it exists... and it is not very arbitrary.... no moreso than not having more than 1 or 2 6-3 guys in the NBA and having to have a 6-10 centre and power forward.
Provide an example of a NHL playoff team that has more than 3 small forwards and 2 small d-men.
There can be some arguments as to what qualifies as small (Tanguay was average sized but played small) Hudler and Cammalleri and Baertschi and Gaudreau and Grandlund can play as hard as they can but they will always be small.
