There are so many unknowns. Would Vladar thrive if given a more conistent schedule, or would he fold? Would whoever the back-up is, likely Cooley, steal a few games? Would the strategy change if goaltending wasn't the center of gravity? If the team found themselves out of playoff contention really early in the season, would their playstyle and tenacity be different (likely a downward spiral)? Would Conroy have been a seller at the deadline causing the team to get fewer wins down the stretch?
