I'm fine axing Sigalet, but let's be real about what he's had to work with. Kiprusoff wasn't Kiprusoff because of David Marcoux. If you gave Sigalet a real #1 to work with, he wouldn't ruin him.
Great comparison, just on a run of the mill search, I found this fansided article that is eerily similar to some of the discussion we’re having here:

So, is Marcoux responsible for turning Kipper from a nobody into the best goalie this team has ever seen? Or is he responsible for ruining guys like Eddie Lack and (to an extent) Cam ward? Maybe it’s both, but it’s also likely neither.

It’s likely the case that he looks as good as the players he’s given to work with. For the Flames and Sigalet, he hasn’t been given much to be excited about.
