Mason has been a starter very recently.
There’s like zero parallels between our situation and ANA’s. ANA let Hiller and then Andersson go and handed the reins to their young goalie in Gibson. We may mirror them in a year or two if we hand the reins to Rittich or Gillies. But yeah until then our situations are completely different.
