Dont know if I agree with the above...but this is a train of thought. Load up at the deadline and make significant changes at the draft next year if necessary...

It's certainly an argument that can be made.
Game 2 they lose 5-4, Talbot with an .861 SP
Game 4 they lose 5-4 in OT. One more save and that is a W
If they win either of those games, the series is 3-1
Game 6, they are up 3-0, then give up 7 goals on 24 shots.
With a top goalie, they probably - or at least very possibly - win that series.
