For me this stellar goaltending duo is setting up for our most important trade this season of either Ramo or Hiller for a very high quality prospect. That's building a winner long term! A 19-22 year old right winger with a right shot for 1st or 2nd line is our biggest gap. The 2015 NHL draft is not flush with top end RWs.
Other than trade deadline moves for our pending free agents (2nd round picks at best), this goaltending duo is our best chance to upgrade team long term outside of the draft.
It's a process. The team culture that is being created here is impressive so far and it starts with Giordano as captain and Hartley's conditioning philosophy.
