Interesting facts about goalies traded to become the new team's starter since 2013

[Bjornar Moxnes]

Grubauer fundamentals aren't very good. He doesnt cut down angles well and doesntbcontrol his rebounds very well.

Relative to Holtby definitely, but I think he does a decent job at rebounds and cutting down angles.

Good players traded for have been good trades, whereas bad players traded for have been bad trades? I need to sit down.

Dubnyk is the only exception, he had terrible fundamentals with the Oilers and his fundamentals have improved greatly since he became a Wild, yet despite this Dubnyk is still a goalie with fundamentals that aren't very good. Good positioning sure, but he's still an awful puck handler, and not the greatest rebound controller. Hiller had one great season and then imploded with the Flames for the same reason. yes Talbot had an off year, but he had two great years one of which was elite with the Oilers. Besides Talbot's bad season in 2017-2018 was overblown and isn't anywhere near as bad as Darling and Lack's worst seasons.

So other than the exceptions, this "fact" is literally always true!

Goalies are all human, nobody can play all games.
The most deciding factor to become a starter is how the groins can stand the pressure.
Talbot played so many games in 2016/17 that it was not wonder that it hurt him last season. Better example is Greiss.
They are all human and because of it it's much better to find 2 good backups and use them in a tandem.

Carolina skews the curve on this whole subject.

Eh Darling had much better stats than Jones, Andersen, etc. at the time of their trades. Lack also had great stats. It's sustainability. Plus Crawford's fundamentals aren't as good as a lot of goalies in the league (Not saying they are bad), but he's an elite goalie, whereas goalies with better fundamentals such as Holtby, Rinne, Rask, Jones, Andersen, etc. aren't as good as Crawford. Hasek's style of play was crazy and unorthodox and he's a legendary goalie.

Holtby and Rask are both a lot better than Crawford.
