If you want to be completely against the signing, go for it. You are entitled to do that because as of right now the management hasn't given fans much to be confident about. Totally fair. At the same time, I also think it's fair that it's not wrong to allow some people to actually see the guy play a bit before they decide he is terrible.
|
I don't think anyone has said he's terrible, just that it's a bad use of cap space to spend $2.5MM on a goalie who has 4 games of NHL experience (and struggled in those games). The Oilers have paid him as if he's going to be a 30+ game goalie next year with solid stats in those games. It's not a great bet.
Basically, Chia bet big on a long shot...again. If he shows up all his critics, that's great, but it's an alarming trend to see your GM repeatedly making high risk moves, especially when his track record on them paying off is really, really bad.
|
I have said multiple times its a big gamble and it better pay off. I have even said I don't think I would have made this gamble personally on this guy. If you are going to spend this money on a goalie, I would have went after a guy with more of an NHL track record. But at the same time, I am not prepared to say its a terrible signing in May, when he hasn't even played a single game yet based on stats from 2010-2011. You are right, back in 2010-2011 in his 4 games, he wasn't very good. But does that mean what he did 7 yrs ago automatically means he can't play in the NHL now? If you are of the opinion that it is impossible for a player to ever improve or change his game to succeed, then I guess so but I do not believe that. I would like to see him play first before I decide it's a terrible signing.
If he can come in and play 20-25 decent games and allow Talbot to play 60 or less games and that results in the Oilers having really good goaltending which in my opinion, successful teams need to have to win, then it is fine. If he is Brossoit 2.0, then its a horrible signing. But he actually has to play first for anyone to know.
