Hiller chose not to play Brandt Clarke; that's on him. Blake gave up some prime age players on beautiful contracts for Dubois of all people, then gave him a Huberdeau contract; that's on him. They are not a bad team.

And that’s the difference why Carolina can’t get over the hump.
New York and Florida have star players who can overcome playoff goaltending on a series, Carolina doesn’t. I’d say the same thing about the Stars. Although they hardly look dangerous their good players don’t have the it factor to get the big goal.
Dubois is part of the team now, and LA is not a good team. The Flames would have given Edmonton more completion. Probably sweep the Kings.
