Yup. Was criticized a bit in St.Louis but in the end probably outperformed what Miller was able to do there.
From twitter but it is interesting: Halak is one of only 4 goalies that has at least a .920 save percentage, and a 2.15 GAA (or better) over the last 3 seasons. The other 3 goalies are Schneider, Rask, and Lundqvist. Pretty good company for Halak.
Considering what each of those three would fetch in a trade that is pretty good for a 4th round pick.
