1. We will have plenty of cap space next year.
2. It's shocking how much they resemble that team. New rookie coach has team 1st in league. With unknown D playing great and great goaltending. Then November/December comes, and its all going to fall apart once a injury or two hits and players regress to the mean. book it.
The problem with your comparison is we're rolling pretty deep with defense prospects, any of which could come up and make a difference if the circumstances are right. We'll be fine, book it.
edit: Not to mention the fact that we could easily go after a few solid d signings with space to spare if our prospects continue to need development time.
