Although it's hard to separate the crappy D from the crappy goaltending, the main point of going with Reimer/Gus is to see which of them, if either, is truly #1 material. It's beginning to look like neither.
Mirtle posted awhile back about (re: Reimer) most goalies see a drop off in sv% in year 2 that was consistent with that of Reimer's.
It's a broken record with the Leafs now. We've been looking for a #1 goalie since Belfour.
And Mirtle was just pointing out the reality that exists with a young goaltender, even one that goes on to be a clear #1, that there will typically be a 2nd year drop-off that doesn't necessarily mean the goalie is not #1 calibre.
