Thread: St. Louis Blues signed Oskar Sundqvist (1 Year / $775,000 AAV)
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>CSStrowbridge</b></div><div>He's played 8 games in the NHL and his saves above expected is -0.6. That's not good.

Subban hasn't has a positive saves above expected stat since 2017-2018.

Zherenko has never played in the NHL and only had a 0.913 save percentage last year. It is unlikely that will stay there in the NHL.

Furthermore, Binnington's best season was his rookie season and he's steadily gotten worse since then, so you NEED a backup who is capable of playing at least 30 games, preferably, you want one that could be the #1 by the end of the year.</div></div>


(sigh)

You should really watch hockey some time. Almost everything you say is factually incorrect, disingenuous or portraying an uninformed opinion as fact. And when people who actually understand what the Blues are doing try to inform you, you just ignore and repeat more flawed stats. Good luck with all that, man.

Dude, what are you on about? In no way, shape or form is Hofer bad. Subban is good enough for an emergency 3rd. Zherenko is also not bad, though obviously he is green. Guess what... every good goalie ever in history was green at some point. Doesn't make them bad. And if no green goalie who is not "bad" ever got to gain that experience in the NHL, well gosh, we'd never have any good goalies. Or even bad goalies. The Blues are not expecting to contend at their usual level this season, so now is as good a time as any to season Hofer. Clearly, you don't know much about the Blues, but I can assure you they actually have quite a nice track record with green goalies who are not actually "bad".

But best news of all: It's not your team, so you don't need to sweat it. Yay!!!
