If they don’t find a goalie, they would have to use one from their farm system for the playoffs. If they obtained a goalie after the trade deadline, he could play in the regular season, but not in the post season.
Am I close?

The waiver time was moved to 2pm ET this season, so they'd only have 1 hour to scramble to make a deal. I wonder if the league would give teams a heads-up that a claim has been put in on a player?
