I'd argue that he is one of the worst contracts on the team, but moving him now makes zero sense. Unless teams are willing to overpay, we are stuck with him. Every game it seems that he struggles mentally early on giving up early goals. Does the team in front of him have that little faith in him? I just don't get why he is regressing instead of progressing.
The team struggles with playing defense early on giving up grade A chances. You can't just pin that on the goalie. They get a 3-on-2 30 seconds into the game that they were able to make passes through the middle on. One, that was a coaching error starting Thornton to begin with. Two, it comes as no surprise that Jumbo can't back-check quick enough anymore. Three, Vlasic and Braun played that pretty poorly taking nothing away. These kind of defensive mishaps are too commonplace for it to be pinned on the goalie.
