Yup. When I look at this team, I keep coming back to that. Add in Hamilton learning a new system unlike anything he'd played before.

From November 1 on, the team's goal differential was just about even. And that was with the four-way tire fire in the crease. Taking that as the baseline, and adding in a genuine #1 goalie (but subtracting several months of an unimpressive Hudler), I think this is already a bubble team – one or two players away from having a really good shot at a playoff spot.

All they have to do is not mortgage the farm, so whatever improvement they make this year will be sustainable for years to come. I am confident that Treliving will handle that part well.
