Did I say he is a proven #1 goalie? I said they can be patient because to me Scrivens has proven he can be a serviceable goalie. There is a difference between being proven enough to replace Luongo who has been a top 5 goalie in this league, and being serviceable enough to be patient while making a deal for a goalie.
He has been good in his 12 NHL games, and was solid for them in the AHL.
I also think that Schneider has proven enough to be seen as a number one goalie and they are smart to try and trade Luongo for more depth.
Canucks fans sure are defensive about their goaltending these days.
