I don't think many are doubting he's been bad.
The real question to me is does he stay bad? Get worse? Recover to his career averages? Recover to last season's start?
Just as he was likely to come off his hot start last year, I think it's reasonable to assume he'll regain some of his form. I am starting to wonder if that recovery isn't enough to be a starting goaltender any more.
