These suggestions that Treliving needs to do something fast to save the season are misplaced. The season is gone, and wasn't one that should have been one on the list for saving regardless. This young team overachieved last year and it was magical, but the last thing we should do is anything designed around getting results this year, this team simply isn't ready yet.

i don't think the season is lost quite yet, but it is very close. That said they have to do something about the goalie situation for this year. They can't go a whole year with this crap. Getting a #1 pick is nice and all , but you don't want to take that far of a step back and start again from scratch next year. Also i would have to think players will shut out Hartley by X-mas if this keeps going on. Which means he will be gone.
Yes there are a lot of things wrong with this team other than goaltending , but goaltending is now the #1 issue. It needs to be adressed this season for the players sake. They can't be deflated for the next 6 months because of bad/meh goaltending.
