I think he was already well known in Florida, that was a blockbuster trade when he moved to Vancouver.
He had already made an NHL season end all-star team, and had finished top 3 in Vezina voting in Florida prior to that trade.
Florida - GP: 572 Wins: 247 SV%: .919
Van - GP: 448 Wins: 367 SV%: .919
So he may have had more team success in Vancouver but individually he was already really good in Florida and more career GP.
