Did things fall apart in year two? Absolutely but the man was really good in year one and one of the main reasons that team made the playoffs. We would be pretty happy if Treliving can find a starting goaltender that would put up those numbers next season.

Oh I remember, I just don't consider a single season performance as something this organization needs. We need a goalie, who can play here for several years. I consider flaming out after 1 season a disappointment.
I also wish there wasn't a 3rd round pick at stake here because I like Elliot as an option (among what is available) this season if we are going to continue the 2 season carousel of goalies.
Also, I like Turek and can't think of another professional who would have renegotiated their contract like that. It was more a list to make a joke, let's not dive too deep into it.
