Some quotes from Treliving on the goaltending issue (warning Francis article):

“At end of the day, here’s where we’re at,” said Treliving, laying out the various goaltending options he's juggling.

“If you want to go long-term on anyone, you’ve got to be careful on term and dollars. We have some young guys in the pipelines, but we also don’t want to expose them and they fail. Question is, is there someone out there we want to go long-term with?”

“Do we stay where we are at?” said Treliving, pondering the possibility of bringing unrestricted free agents Chad Johnson and Elliott back despite the latter’s season-ending playoff collapse.

“We’ve talked to both guys to get a sense of where they are at. We were really comfortable with how our goaltending shaped up this year. We went from 30th to 14th. Do we think the goaltending played up to its potential in the playoffs? Probably not. But let’s not forget, without those guys, we end the year a little earlier.

“You get through the emotion and get past that. When your eyes are bleeding because you’re so wound up, you usually make bad decisions. So you analyze it.”

Treliving’s meetings with scouts are coming up, and one of the major questions to be answered is simple.

“I’m not sure there are guys capable of 60 games, so is there a guy who can play 50 games or a guy who hasn’t done it that should get the chance?” asked Treliving.
