I think the main point to be taken from these numbers is that no goalie has had a great season under Sigalet - something approaching a career-best, or even close. No goalie has had even a surprisingly good season numbers-wise. Most goalies seem to regress based on the numbers after a year of Sigalet's coaching - of course, this is highly debatable as well given team defence and other metrics.
It also seems as if most of these goalies get no better after leaving. Up for debate if he broke them, or whether they were never very good anyway or ready for a steep decline.
Sigalet joined the Flames in August of 2014. Before that he was with the Heat, but I'll start there anyway:
