I think he could be better than Markstrom right now, my issue is how often do NHL coaches, even ones not named Daryl Sutter, play rookie goalies over veterans on big deals?
Even in Florida with Knight being there Bob still gets a ton of rope and games. I think that may be in part because of injuries to Knight, but also because coaches (in all sports) tend to be much more conservative than fans when it comes to rookies versus vets.
