If making the playoffs was the goal a much cheaper option could have band aided them into the post season. Lets flip the coin and talk some Spitfires, how good are they if they removed their world class goalie had a very wet behind the ears line up and still ended up looking down at the Hounds in the standings.

They had a legit team, but off-ice stuff (from what I've read) wasn't helping anything.
