You know nothing about developing goalies.
Oh, totally. I mean, from reading your post, and the one you replied to, that would be the only conclusion for sure!
I guess I also forgot about how many player agents these days lobby to
keep their clients buried in depth charts around the league.
The majority of good goalies in the NHL have spent 2.5 years in the AHL and then 2.5 years as a back up before they were legit starters.
I'm obviously excluding blue chip goalies drafted in the top 5.
So when I point out that Tokarski has spent 4 years in the AHL already, and this looking like a full year as a back-up, how does your math turn into a point again? And stepping back a bit, what definition of "good" do you use that includes Tokarski, but hopefully not any of the examples that I'm likely to bring up if this actually turns into a discussion?
Aaaaaand go.
