It might... but playing this exciting high offense hockey might make it impossible for any goalie to be successful compared to the rest of the league.
Is Ortio a bad goalie? Or is a .900 sv % inherent with this team's style of play?
The Flames will have to get a lot better on team defense before they bring up Gillies... or they will ruin him quickly like they did with Ortio.
The Flames had to pay 3.8M for UFA Ramo who was #33 in Sv % in his UFA year to back up Hiller who was making 4.5M . Do you think there was a bidding war for Ramo?
Talbot was #5 in the league in sv% in his 36 games with the Rangers.
This year he is #17 ..... did his goalie skills desert him at age 28? ... or just maybe the Rangers play better team defense than the Oilers.
