The mentality is that as a mere 24-year-old his success at the NHL level resembled or exceeded the success of many quality NHL starting goaltenders at the exact same age once you dig into the stats. He also passed my eye test relative to his experience level.
To Each His Own. No need to bash a guy who's still a year or two younger than many a rookie goaltender.
It's fine that we're going the Chad Johnson route but he is what he is, a 30 year old backup. Ortio will be 25 next season.
