You've switched out your goalie tandem completely.

Like, there is an idea of what is at stake there, but also you're trying to do it in a West where...

Like, look, Colorado, Dallas, Minnesota, Vegas with the way they've looked under Tortorella.

You just don't know.

And again, we talked about the Ducks and what they could be under Joel Quinta.

So if you had to pick a team in the West, maybe a team overall, it's the Oilers.

Whereas if you look at a team in the East where there's a lot of pressure...

Maybe Tampa, maybe.

But then again, you could also argue Carolina because there does come a point when Carolina has been really good for a lot of years, but they've also not had the success they would like.

So it's just really a matter of if not now, then when, especially when like, look,

Buffalo, as we've seen before, like maybe this is a one-off, maybe this is the start of something bigger.

The Lightning aren't going away.

The Canadian damn sure aren't going away.

We don't know what's going to happen with other teams in the future.

So if you're the Hurricanes and you're the Oilers, you can definitely suggest that like those are the two teams facing it more than everyone.

And especially with the Oilers, because like not saying those other teams aren't driven, but Colorado, Dallas, and Vegas got a championship.

The Oilers in this current iteration don't.

It's the goaltending because that's the biggest question they've had throughout all this.

It's the goaltending and whether or not it can withstand what it takes to win a Stanley Cup.

The potential weakness is, did they learn from the last few years?
