If it means getting a goalie who does a better but not perfect job of bailing the squad out for 5 of those ten Bell chances rather than 2 or 3, the team needs to be looking at that.
The roster, though vastly improved, has defensive limitations. The goal should be acquiring a goalie that can work within those limitations and give the potent offense a chance to score their way out of 4-3 games.

What are you giving up to get a better than average starter? Are we skipping next year’s draft again too?
