Amen! The draft, in theory, is designed to give the worst teams the best chance to improve. Not being among the worst teams, the CBJ (again, theoretically) needs less help to get better. Whether improvement comes through the draft, free agent signing, or internal system development, the goal is to need the help of high draft choices less and less.
Pete, Dont entirely agree, in a short season, a hot goalie can mask alot of our flaws. I think Bobs save percentage was over 95% during our points steak, many games we won by 1 goal because of him. If hes not playing at the level he was, we are well below a 500 record. So what happens once Bob starts fighting the puck, or just plays slightly above the average nhl goal keeper. Our margin of error is razor thin, and we need to keep that in perspective. Yes, we are not the worst team in the NHL, but if Bob gets hurt, and we have to throw Mason back out there, how do you feel about our team at that point ?
