Wallstedt now 2nd in the NHL with a 1.94GAA, and 1st with .935 save %. He's 6-0-2 for the Wild this year. His counterpart Gustavsson is 6-7-2 with .902 and 2.79. So seems less like a system stat line and more of a stupid Oilers bad a dumb moving passing on this guy thing...
Other highly touted goalies who have changed hands recently who seem to be doing pretty well: Spencer Knight who the Hawks got in a trade, solidly in the top 10 in both categories. Yaro Askarov, who the Sharks got from the Preds, also in the top 10 in save %.
EDIT - and yes, I will complain about this for as long as Wallstedt is excelling in the NHL or until we get competent goaltending.

Don't forget Logan Thompson who the Capitals got for two third round picks and who's 8-6-1 on a team that's struggled to score goals. .910 even after a week where he had a tough few outings.
I've heard that you can't just expect your GM to go and get a goalie though. Being a GM is really tough. Us normies wouldn't understand how challenging a role that is.

Yeah, I think we achieved a peak example of difficulty getting a goalie when it was our turn to draft, and the top ranked goalie of the draft was there to be taken, and we traded away the pick to draft a bust a couple picks lower.
It doesn't get any harder than that.
It's remarkable how Wallstedt's development curve lined up exactly with McDrai's extensions.

Colorado was in the dumps with goaltending worse than current Skinner/Pickard just a year ago. Now 17-1-6 record with 0.928 and 0.920 goalies, and a 3rd stringer >0.900 as well for when Blackwood was hurt.
Annoying how some teams are able to act and address glaring weaknesses.

St. Louis just signed Dillon Dube to an AHL agreement.
I think a couple more signings likely in the next months.

Blues getting desperate. Not following up their last season well after the year of a perfect blend of underdog energy and ex-oiler spite motivation.
