You could literally see this coming. You just knew it. The oft injured goaltender gets.... injured.
Traded away a mid goaltender (but not injury prone) to a mid goaltender that you pay more and is injury prone.
It's Bowman math!

Jarry defenders are pointing out he has only technically missed 33 games in his 10 year career because of injury. But, I think a lot of his time in the league has been playing through injury as well, which may be a reason why his stats seem to drop off later in seasons.
Bowman definitely backed us into a corner this year with his inaction in the summer. I guess it's a tiny improvement to show he was willing to make a move for a goalie, unlike Holland. But he forced himself into a big gamble.
We really need ANOTHER goalie now. Seeing our media guys talk about Lyon a lot. Lack of cap space makes everything extremely difficult now. Too bad we paid a guy 4x8M to do what almost any league minimum waiver pickup would have done for us this year.
