My guess is he's out of the league within 3 years. He just can't stay healthy.
Because if his injury problems are behind him he is a Vezina calibre goalie. That's the logic. That's the lottery ticket they're buying

The expectation is he won't play more than 40 games in the regular season ever again. That's why they paid Lankinen as well. It's going to be a pure platoon. And when that doesn't work, Robidas island.
