Just take a deep breath off the ledge... The trade didn't happen so you can breathe/sleep easier. Sounds like you aren't convinced that your team's contention window is now, similar to NJ's GM.
Fitzgerald wasn't willing to pony up to go all in for his team like Zito, McCrimmon, or even Alvin to a certain extent. He should've always knew that it would need to be an overpayment to even consider getting any "elite"/"good" midseason goaltender that you've listed like Hill, Ullmark, Markstrom, or Saros. You know what good goaltending gets you? Usually a winning record and nothing to mess with internally!
He's literally asking any team with good goaltending (Nashville or Calgary) to throw their own seasons down the drain like NJ after knowing they had bad goaltending. He really didn't need to come out saying he was being extorted when no one was even looking to trade their "good" goaltenders and messing with something good in their own house. Which is why people laugh at his comments.
