And every team manages their goaltenders that way.
You have a starter who generally makes 5X more money and is a key investment for the team.
You have a set plan coming into a season of a games split and you go away from it if the starter if wilting, but come back to it when you see he's finding his game.
We are seeing it in Edmonton as well.
Vancouver sticking with Demko though he was clearly off to start the year.
