I wouldn't be the slightest bit surprised if the season was over by the end of October.

We haven't given whoever happens to be the backup a chance and you're already writing them off. Should we not give them a fair chance.
Weegar has proven himself to be a #1 d man.
Just because we don't have any elite forwards doesn't mean this team can't compete for a playoff spot. We have enough talented forwards to handle the scoring dept . Vegas did that for years by scoring by committee.
The schedule is very tough for the month of October. If they can be hovering around the .500 mark by the beginning of November I think they'll be fine.
The play of Wolf is a factor you're missing. If he continues his solid play, he gives a chance to win every night.
Sorry but I don't share your extreme negativity.
