If he played any other position, I would agree 100%, but goalies are so all over the map.
Can I point to a successful goalie who had two consecutive bad seasons prior to making it in the NHL? No, but again, goalies are such a crap-shoot.
It's such a mentally taxing position, and I believe he's had some mental health issues, so it seems like something that he could more likely overcome.
