Those people were wrong and biased against him because he was a Canuck.
If he would have passed through waivers than at least 10 GM's should have been fired on the spot and more should have had egg on their faces.
The Hockey Canada brass, that most people would argue has some hockey knowledge, had faith in him to bring him in and potentially have him as the starting goalie. Even with his contract I would take their view of his hockey ability and value to a team over internet hockeyboard posters.
