Emery lost 1 game? in 13 and iirc there wss talk of emery in the playoffs but he was.. darling played in the 15 playoffs. I'm not bagging crow. Just saying he's not some 6 morelli's messiah. You guys don't think a lesser guy and keeping Saad time in 16 or maybe someone else stays or comes in makes the Hawks a better, even slightly better squad ? This is pretty much the only point that matters in a cap era. The Hawks were not built with the goaltender being an integral piece. All this talk of "The Detroit Model" stopped when they gave Crawford $6MM. The only goaltender not to play well in the Hawks system since Khabby was Marty Turco. Every other goaltender put up spectacular numbers.

Crows good probably top 10 (admittedly not watching much of league) no one thinks Darling or someone similar + maybe Panarin+Saad is better than just crow?Absolutely. I'm not saying Crawford's the problem either. There's just a lot of goalies who are able to kind of provide that level performance, or close enough. But lest we forget, Panarin was acquired for free. What Stan giveth, Stan can taketh away.

Hey that Panarin move was great because WE got Saad back. Now no one look up how Saad left, because I certainly don't remember and I'm sure it was a good move. NOTHING TO SEE HERE.

So who do you put in net? How much do you pay that guy? Do you just keep cycling through goalies on cheaper contracts and hope they don't shit the bed come playoff time? The last thing you want to do is be looking for a goalie every season...

Another thing here... In my other thread about the Power Index, a lot of fuss is being made about shot quality and who is taking the shots, shouldn't that be applied to Crawford and his back-ups as well?
The back-ups are going to typically get the easier match-ups, allowing for easier stats to be had. Crawford is maintaining his stats over 50ish games per season. Expecting that the back-up would be able to do just as well with a much increased workload and tougher competition is awfully optimistic.
