the only STAT that matters for goalies (not talking about intangibles), is SV%
Campbell's SV% in the AHL is horrid
i doubt this guy can sustain the NHL
regardless, Zatkoff is not a goalie
so that answers that question
of course we keep Budaj, it would be sane not to
doesn't change the fact that we need a guy like Tokarski to backup Budaj
until Quick comes back (IF IF IF IF IF IF)
and because of those 5 IFs
id rather be stuck with "too many goalies" than a Budaj/Zatkoff for an entire season.
and i don't care about getting a higher pick, it shouldn't come at the cost of entertainment
nobody in LA is interested (even the players) in a game where Zatkoff is the starter
it's just dead atmosphere
that is very bad for business
this is why i'm really struggling with the fact that Zatkoff is still on our roster
but guys like Halak & Hammond were given the axe
is Zatkoff part of a union or something???
why are we clinging onto a guy that has no business in the NHL? He's stealing a job from an actual professional
