I'll concede you the points on losing Bonk and 3 defensemen. Okay, they've regressed. But saying Lalime is better than Hasek is just...I dunno man...
Belfour plays well as a 40 year old, I think Hasek can too. That being said, goaltending is their question mark. If Hasek proves to be a mistake, they're ######ed.
Ottawa does have depth to make some trades still. I think they'll be the contender in the division. Yes, still better than Boston.
