I mean. He was but for a short while and then he cratered. Lets not pretend that Binnington has been great either.

He's been pretty damn good overall, I'd say.

He was a combined like .897 SV% from 21-23. It was definitely not as controversial as your revisionist self-congratulatory post suggests it was

Using Sv% as the sole criteria to judge a goalie is misguided.

While I agree on the SV% point, I’d be hard pressed to find an example of a goalie with a sub-.900 SV% who I’d say has been playing well, Binnington included. Sure he wasn’t a total disaster but he was definitely below average overall at best.

Should be able to get some games and get back into form.

I assume they'll release Subban from his PTO.

Never suggested it was. Benning was god awful. I said Yzerman was doing his best impersonation of him, which he has with some of his terrible signings. You really, need to work on your reading comprehension bud. The amount of dead cap Yzerman has in a year when there’s a lot of pressure to actually improve and make the playoffs is a bit comical.

Yzerman took over a team that was essentially devoid of talent, and has had to sign available UFAs to questionable contracts as band-aids to be able to ice a team without rushing his youngsters into service before they are ready or trading useful picks/prospects for short term pieces.

Benning took over a team that had made the Cup finals a couple years prior and still had some talent, and caused a bunch of self inflicted wounds that made the team worse. That is very different than overpaying for a couple of band-aids and having them fail to help stop the bleeding.
