Cam Talbot's stats were just as good, if not better than Lundqvist's this year. Not sure if you can use that as a negative against Vigneault, as he may have had the team tighten up defensively with Lundqvist out. However, it's not like Hartley could just put in a "backup Gio" to replace the original.
Boyle's situation may be comparable, but Boyle wasn't the frontrunner for the Norris...
