.893 in the AHL and .902 in the NHL is not what gives a 1 one way NHL deal

Yeah not enough people are making note of the fact he refused to go on a conditioning stint. That showed he wasn't much of a team player. How stupid do you have to be to refuse that stint?
And his play in the AHL was terrible. Sure he finished the season decently but his start was abysmal, he didn't do what the Flames wanted when he refused the conditioning stint and then played bad in the minors after being waived.
Then this summer he refuses two-way deals. He made his own bed.
