So this year the big add is Troy Stecher and this is what's going to catapult them to a Stanley Cup. Alrighty then.

They needed to upgrade their goaltending as well, and they haven't done that either. They'll be done in the 1st round. 2nd round at best. Even if they somehow managed to fluke/McPP their way to the Final, most of the top Eastern teams like Florida, Boston, or the Rangers would absolutely demolish them. They're not getting anywhere near the Cup.
