Goalies are just a weird thing to judge a GM at, because no one seems to predict when a goalie will actually play well.
Markstrom was waived early in his Vancouver career.
Dubnyk was dumped by both Edmonton and Montreal.
Kuemper iirc had been give a chance due to injury somewhere and was a disappointment.
Kiprusoff had been given somewhat a chance in San Jose and was not very good at all.
When Halak got traded, a lot of Habs fans thought they should have traded Price. Halak settled into a 1b/2 kind of guy
Binnington was awesome a year ago and not so awesome this year
Bernier was once the next great starter
I don't know if goalies are voodoo, but they definitely seem hard to predict.
