I don't understand this contract. His stats are trending towards average, so why does he have so much leverage? His GAA has gone from 1.89 in his cup year to 2.69 current. His Goals saved above average has gone from 13.7 to 0.7 over the same span. Save % dropped from an amazing .927 to .908. He looks like a totally average goalie right now. He has potential to improve, but a major contract like that is crazy in my books.

Outside of the cup run, am I missing something?
