i'm sure they will Columbus is a good team and they have two great goaltenders I'm positive Columbus will make the playoffs with Mason or not... I just wish Toronto could get either Mason or Leclaire before trade deadline
Mason being out for a time might not matter in terms of Columbus making the playoffs or not. I think you framed the question incorrectly, as currently (I know it's a tie basically, but still) Columbus is out of the playoff picture.
Will Mason being out hurt their chances of making it in the top eight? I don't think so, as they have LeClaire who is more than capable. But really, it's gonna be a coin toss as to who makes it and who doesn't . . .
everyone is forgetting that leclaire is out for the season, so if Mason does go out, NO they do not have a stellar 3rd option as they are Wade Dubielewicz and Dan Lecosta. We will have to wait and see, but i say if Mason is out, so are their chances of making the playoffs.
