He had one decently above average year and he got paid, he’s the 8th highest paid goalie in the league

Last year, he was below average, but with excuses and with a story to tell. Yep, he had lots of great games. And lots of stinkers. Pros get paid for their consistency, which does end up showing in their stats over time

And for the record, I do think he is a solid starter. A good goalie, but replaceable among his tier. I think he will improve statistically under Sutter to the point where some people will be very pleased.

But I also think that the first goal last night shouldn’t go in, through the gap between his blocker and his pad. And that contributed to the team taking one point and not two (and Anaheim getting 2, not zero)

Sure man, whatever gets you through.
