I think this is abundantly fair, but I wanted to point out that while Sigalet was in the AHL Joni Ortio actually improved a great deal and at one time looked like he could be a great late-round steal. Again, who can say how much Sigalet had to do with his success and then his failure to make the jump to the NHL, but he does count as at least one goalie who improved a lot under Sigalet's tutelage.
