This season has been fantastic but I feel this success is a year too early for this club and they will be in tough just to make it to the 2nd round of the playoffs with the two goaltenders they have. This is why it would have been a massive mistake to trade a 1st round pick and prospect for Stone. I'm totally fine with that as the team far exceeded expectations this season and games have been for the most part fun to watch for the majority of the season. I'm kind of surprised how so many fans actually think think the latest hiccups are an indication they are in trouble going into the playoffs. This team was always going to be in trouble as they have largely outscored their goaltending issues during the season and that rarely works in the playoffs.
