The second move has been done by Brunner and Zetterberg, hasn't it?

Also, yeah he had a few bad games, when the team was playing terribly, but for one month or so, he was playing as well as any net minder in the league and he made a couple of the best saves I've seen in a long time. He also did well against Boston in my opinion. He's bound to be inconsistant at times, if he wasn't, he wouldn't be signing as a back up and he wouldn't be $1.5 mill per year.

Didn't I already disprove your shootout comment? Gustavsson mostly played well in the shootouts last year.

So he's achieved as much as you'd hope he could, in the opportunities he's been given. What more do you want from him?

Oh and here's a game against the Hawks where Gustavsson won in the shootout: http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/boxscore?gameId=400485000 I think he was actually very good in shootouts most of the time.

Were there not at least one or two games where Gustavsson gave us more than a chance to win in the shootout. I'm thinking specifically of a game against Tampa when he stopped 6 out of 7 or 7 out of 8, but our forwards couldn't score a single goal (http://scores.espn.go.com/nhl/boxscore?gameId=400484719). I think certain people are also forgetting how he played in the playoffs when he was called on at the last minute - he played well enough that you weren't worried when he was put back in the next game. Other back-ups buckled in the same scenario (Tampa, Montreal, before they called up Tokarski).
