No I'm saying he's not franchise altering like say Carey Price. You think in the same situation the Habs would let Price go if they have Vasilevsky? Would the Capitals let go of Holtby for Vasilevsky? He's a very good starting goaltender but he's IMO a lot closer to Elliott pedigree than Price pedigree. Personally I don't even think Vasilevskiy is even that great as this stage in his career but much like with young goaltenders teams will hope they can fulfill future potential and if they dont' view the veteran goaltender ahead of them as franchise altering they let go of them like the Blues did with Elliott and the Lightning with Bishop.
