Dubnyk actually supports my theory. From 10/11 to 12/13 he had good numbers and was a good goalie, despite the oilers being terrible in all other aspects of the game. Then in 13/14, he had an off year (like almost all goalies do) and he got shelled. Then in 14/15, back to normal, only this time behind a competent defense, and he is a Vezina candidate.
If it wasn't for the off year in 13/14, he would likely still be stuck in edmonton.
