Not sure. We have used up Brandon Hickey, a first, two seconds, a conditional second, and a third for Hamilton plus Elliott plus Smith. Hoping for the best with Smith, and even more so, hoping for Gillies, Parsons and/or Rittich to emerge but there's no way any GM would look at Treliving's goaltending moves (plus Hamilton acquisition) as an optimal use of those assets.

Wow, I strongly disagree with the bolded part of your post. Actually, now that I reread it, I strongly disagree with the whole thing. You're incredibly underrating the Hamilton acquisition.
