Again, Knight was 4.5 million sitting on the bench for a team that's looking to make another run. It may come back to bite them in the future but it's the right call now.

This again?
You don't need the best goalie in the game to win, but you do need good goaltending to be in contention. See: Flames for the entire Monahan Gaudreau era.
Goalies may be a dime a dozen, but getting a good one, especially one that is young and still developing, is insanely hard. The Panthers were in a great position for their future with Knight slowly taking over the starting net. Now what's the plan? #### if I know.
All for Seth Jones.
Advanced stats aside, because we know that being on a bad team can skew things, but have you watched Jones in the last 5 or 6 years play a game and think to yourself "yeah, that guy's a winner"?
Nope. It's a dumb decision and I'm going to yell and scream about it for quite some time. Even if he plays well in the short term, it's a bad move long term.
