It's unfortunate but that is our best bet. We lost out on finding an elite/potential elite goaltender via trade missing out on Fleury, Bishop and Grubauer.

No, the window is open now and won't be forever. Goalies rarely turn into to NHL starters, so waiting for Gillies or Rittich to maybe become starters could literally burn everything we've built dating back to 2013.
It would be completely asinine for management to take your approach to solidifying our goaltending. There are options, some that cost a lot, but make no mistake Brad has been trying really hard to snag the right goalie and will continue to do so or he will likely go down with the ship if we crash again.
Also, this is the trade speculation thread, people are speculating on a trade involving our biggest weakness.
