Agreed. He is a below average backup goaltending whose win loss record initially was a direct result of the team averaging 4+ goals per game when he played. The defense doesn't help though and results in a lot higher quality of shots against. The sad thing is that the defense will get worse before it gets better as no one is coming up to me help. Just brutal development.
Their best defensive prospect is Elias Pettersson and no one else. They haven't had a prospect other than Hughes play in their top four since Elder. That's 20 years and one player!
