And it's really...

It's been an interesting year with our goaltending.

I've said a few times, I don't love our goaltending, but I like our goaltenders.

I think they need to be better.

Aiden's won a Stanley Cup.

He's a proven NHL player.

I know that he can do it because I've seen him do it.

Carter Hart, who made a really good impression in a short period of time, has been out of the lineup now for three months.

We think he will be healthy in time to play regular season games.

He was good when he played prior to getting injured, so I don't think we can have him as part of the reason that we're not happy with our goaltending.

Akira Schmid, we're fortunate to have had him because he's been a good backup for us and he's

he's played pretty well.

So it needs to be better.

But, you know, you asked the question, you know, can we win without that part of our team improving?

I think it will get better.

And I think our team will get better.

That's how we feel.

One of the things I didn't mention at the top, if we didn't feel this was a real good team, we probably would have just let things play out.

But we think we have a really good team.

And we wanted to try to do what we could do to give that team the best chance.
