This string is about speculation. I'll speculate right back at all of you who want to shell out for a "big name" goalie. Its a lot of money for stop gap. Talbots as good as any stop gap mentor for young Goalies and cheaper. I don't want a plugged nickle spent on washed up Holtby, washed up Fluery or Markstrom even if he is playing well.

Your facts are correct, but to suggest that a traded for goalie cannot win the cup based on those 16 years isn’t conclusive to me. A number have gone to the final, and I don’t think the deciding factor was whether the goalie was traded for or not.
I certainly won’t base me decision on whether to sign a UFA goalie on this fact.
It’s more likely simply a coincidence or a small sample size.
