I really hope we don't start doing the whole dual goalie thing again. For some reason this team just can't seem to shake it.
The reason is that we have always had excellent back-ups but never a true #1 goalie. Some goalies are excellent in a limited role but cannot push beyond that role. Hutton is an outstanding 20-30 game a year back-up. Push him into a 50/50 split platoon role or starting gig, and he will struggle. Elliott and Allen are both solid 1A/1Bs. But neither has proven to be able to handle a full role. Same with Halak. It takes another level of stamina, mental and physical conditioning to be on your game night in and night 60+ games over the season.
