Absolutely this. Brad is a very calculated, well planned out GM. Him not aggressively
upgrading our goaltending mid season was not a failure or lack of desire to upgrade the goaltending.
It was him tirelessly focusing on it and making the calls behind the scenes without us seeing and then deciding that for now and the future no deal was to be made in his plans to become a contender with what was available and at what price.
I have a feeling posters that are all over Brad for goaltending last season would be equally condemning him had he paid a pick or roster player for a stop gap that may or may not have been better than what we had.
