Huh? His career stats in the minors is a .910 save percentage including his worst season (this one). He's had stretches in the minors where he was arguably the best or at least one of the best goaltenders down there.
Consistency an issue? Maybe. But talent is not. Attention to details and technique are things that you hope build over time via repetition, coaching, and experience. If GMs pulled the plug on talent at every sign of issue, Steve Mason, Ben Bishop, Devin Dubnyk and Jakob Markstrom (among others) would not be starting goalies right now.
