Bang on.

Lehtonen is coming off back surgery. They will start the season with a tandem of Pavelec/Hedberg or the other way around.

On the other hand, they added Antropov and Kubina (while losing some toughness in Exelby). If Lehtonen can play, or if Pavelec takes this opportunity and runs with it, they are a playoff team.

Soft does a great job in the regular season. You don't have to win in the playoffs to get to the playoffs.
