Bax, you selected the strongest years all of those players had with the club, often their first seasons here. I am going to stop replying to this thread now, but I think there is more to this: the goalies coming in are hot and ride out the new opportunity to success, but seemingly without fail by year 2 things start going sour. Hiller, Smith, Ortio, Ramo...
Well yeah, you had mentioned it's been a decade of goalie statistics plummeting and that just hasn't been the case. Plenty of these guys have performed exactly as expected was the point. I provided 9 seasons where I would say guys played about as well as we could have hoped.

Hiller and Smith both ran into old age, Ortio was never and NHL goalie, and Ramo has always been servicable at best.
