I have only seen a few images on TV, but Chiodo has better stats and the Pens are even weaker than at the start of the season. Of course Fleury's upside is extremely high, but why should it be so clear that he is slotted in for the Nr. 1 spot? Chiodo is very young and seems to be very talented too.
He has better stats because he has played less games. Period.
After six games Chiodo has a .910 sv% and a 2.96 gaa.
By comparison, Fluery had a .943 sv% and a 1.96 gaa.
He has been a strong goalie for the Pens in his first few games, but my opinion is that Fluery should be slotted in the # 1 spot because he is the better goalie by a wide margin. Give Chiodo the same amount of games and his stats will be up there as well.
The fight will be for the #2 spot on the Pens. The starting goalie will be Maffy's IMO.
