Agreed. Bryzgalov has a couple good seasons in Phoenix... playing behind a team with a defence-first system. He is not an elite goaltender. Never was and never will be. He can be an improvement on Dubnyk, but given he is walking into a team with an abysmal defence and forwards that are afraid of their own zone, this has a much better chance of blowing up on Edmonton than anything else.
