You push some chips in this year and a decent back up is absolutely where I'm putting some chips or this season could easily be lost with one injury.

Personally if I am pushing chips I want one more winger before I add a goalie.
There are injuries that I don’t believe we can mitigate even with trades if the cup is our goal. Rittich is one of them, Gio is one, and any member of the top line. I don’t think spending assets for inferior replicas in these spots makes sense.
If we do spend I want to upgrade the third line or an extra D to keep Prout out of the line up. In my opinion injuries at these positions is far more common then the goalie injury and have ready outside of the top lines.
