Not sure if Carlyle is the problem Blitty. Their D has been demolished to the point that they are laughable pile of rubble. Losing Nieds, Pronger and Beauchemin killed you guys. If anyone needs to be shown the door it's their GM who basically didn't do a thing to rebuild his D. It looks like Hiller is only good with superstar calibre D in front of him.
BB would have fixed this problem long ago.
