He's 25 this April, so while there's some room for improvement, it's a pretty big gamble to suggest he's going to be an NHL goalie.

I respect your opinion but I disagree. The fact that he has a .500 quality start percentage weighs over his save percentage to me. Maybe that maxes him out as a 20 game backup next year but it shows me that he's been better or at least more consistently good for us than Hiller. When he's bad, specifically the Montreal Game, it doesn't matter if he had a .600 or a .300 save percentage. That one game shouldn't be allowed to skew the fact that he's given this team a chance often before they fell apart in front of him.
...Hiller has a .350 quality start percentage.
