BT will be remembered as the guy who couldn't acquire a goalie, the history books wont give a #### about sigalet.

When Elliott and Johnson were signed, their numbers suggested that they would be a well above average goaltending duo. Once they got here, they were a disaster, and the longer they were here, the worse they got.
Our many highly-touted goaltending prospects (I know this is getting into voodoo territory, but just the sheer numbers suggest that this is a significant trend) have also declined significantly.
Obviously there is something in the system that causes goalies' performance to decline rather than improve. You can't get rid of all of the players, so sometimes a coaching change is necessary.
We still have some promising prospects, and it would be a waste when they are eventually brought up to the parent team if they underperform like every other goaltender in the current system and are lost as a result.
