Well, that's just not true.

If you have the worst goaltending over the past 5 seasons in the NHL (best finish in season long sv% is 17th) then yes actually, Change for the sake of change is beneficial.
THe logic stands that if we're already awful, then why continue doing the same thing and expect a different result.
Every coach and player, etc. is a lever that the organization can pull on to get maximum results for the organization.
Some levers have a bigger impact than others, and no one here knows how big of an impact Sigalet has on the organizations performance. However, to claim that we shouldn't change just for the sake of change is ignoring the fact that all else being equal, if we change out sigalet, maybe things get worse (the impact of that is relatively small, we are in 25th or so in league goaltending so far this season, and can only drop so many places to 31st) or they can get better (lotta upside there I would say)
So basically the potential upside far outweighs the potential downside of firing sigalet.
