I'm familiar with the team outcome with Ward in net vs Darling...98 point pace in 42 starts for Ward
Ward is undervalued...folks don't appreciate how good he is.
It's debatable that the Canes would be a bubble team with an average replacement for Darling...my opinion is that a fairly optimistic view of the team.
Staal-Ryan-Rask-Kruger down the middle was pure garbage and not the makings of a playoff team with average goaltending.
Ward was a decent amount below average, and he had the team on a 98 point pace. That's on the bubble and in. So how would an average goalie, who by definition would have been better than Ward, have ended up with a worse outcome and the team not in exactly? That doesn't add up
