I love Freddy, but he's not the difference between us being one of the top teams in the league, and being where Ottawa, Columbus, Detroit, Edmonton will be.
We'd be in a battle to make the playoffs, and there's a good chance we'd miss, but it also depends on when he goes down. If Freddy went down from Nov to Jan, then there's still the stretch drive. If he tears his ALC in January, then that's a long time where the team could fall. If he gets injured in March, we have a spot lined up at that point, but we are likely gone in round 1.
