I can see how someone could argue with it, I just don't see what makes you think they'll improve let alone stay the same. Removing goal scoring and replacing it with toughness may make the team harder to play against but may also make them easier to score against as the guys we picked up seem to play more of a physical game and aren't really defensive specialists. As for goaltending, I wouldn't know if Hiller is that significant of an upgrade at all as his numbers have declined since his bout with vertigo.

I enjoy when people disagree as long as they back it up. Just saying "I think they'll be better because I like them" doesn't really cut it.
