It's highly debatable whether or not they will get even that with Scrivens, who has not won a game in over a month, and has posted only a 0.901 sp in that span of five games. In that same span of time, Dubnyk has posted a 0.895 sp, and Bryzgalov a 0.891 sp, whilst playing beyond the most porous defense in the NHL by the widest of margins.
I'm pretty sceptical about the merits of this deal for Edmonton. Seems like a lateral move at best, and a downgrade in goal at worst, and all for a fairly hefty price paid.
