Well, maybe, if you assume all players are the same or that everyone on the
roster last year is owed a spot for this year.  Then again, when the team has
as poor a record as it did last year, one might want to think about bringing
in enough new talent to begin to put the program back on its feet.
 
On the goalie situation,  McCutcheon did exactly the right thing in playing
Elliott from the start, as has been well covered by other responses to Mike's
earlier posting.  Bandurski seems to be the kind of goalie, whatever his
skills, who will usually let in just enough goals to lose.  Skazyk's best can
be pretty good and maybe he hasn't peaked yet.  Elliott could be the best in
the league with softer hands and softer pads.
