The nice thing about elite goaltending is it can cover up for the team not being perfect defensively.
Something the last 7-8 goalies weren't going to do for us outside of a couple months from Rittich.
And I think the Flames are defensively stronger than the Canucks just in terms of players that will commit to both sides of the puck so Markstrom will have an easier time than he has had.
We just need to buff up our offense a bit here and fill out the depth with some savvy signings.
I hope we get a roster signing done before the day is out.
