This would be the best case scenario, some regular season work before the playoffs. If Tulo comes back I truly believe we have a legitimate shot at going all the way.
Stroman's return was a game-changer for sure, but without Tulo I would not be confident in winning more than a round. His defence and hitting (I agree with most on here that his hitting is bound to come around) are elite and make us significantly better as a team, with all due respect to Pennington and Barney.
