Remember what Trotz said about Dubnyk after acquiring him from Edmonton:

Quote:
“We got Devan from Edmonton, and what we realized very quickly was that Devan has a lot of… I’ll say bad habits he’s picked up this year,” Predators coach Barry Trotz told Nashville radio station 94.9 Game2 on Wednesday. “We started him at home, and you could really see he was out of sync in his game, so we wanted to spend some time with him working with [goaltending coach] Mitch Korn, just being able to get his game in order.”

I wonder if there will be similar comments out of Pittsburg.

In addition, Skinner was a very inconsistent goalie. He had bad games, but he also was able to play enough good games to win several rounds of playoff hockey. The jury is out on Jarry.
