Hard to argue with that IMO.

Pro sports is a coin toss after the pieces are accumulated.
Teams that look to be in, generally add pieces at the deadline to shore things up, especially when two older guys in the top four are banged up.
The two additions certainly helped them get by Winnipeg and deep into a series with Dallas so I don't have a problem with them.
But a team that has four guys that young on their roster playing defense isn't blocking the road for young players on their roster.
That's pretty evident.
