The defense has improved, not Corey.
Corey still loses the puck in the crease with great regularity
Very poor at giving up rebounds
usually out of position
slow reflexes
leaves the crease at inappropriate times
bad at passing puck
the team plays very differently in front of Ray than Corey
Corey will never steal a game
shall I continue?

No, I think you covered it all. Thanks...

So if he comes back to earth and finishes wit a .925 SV% and a 2.20 GAA and wins 20 games with 3 SO's, you'd rather trade assets for someone similar or potentially as good? If you'd have told me the above #s before the season began I would have been elated. The fact that he is posting Vezina numbers and there is still trade talk is ludicrous IMO.

He is not sh!tting the bed on a regular basis and therefore the organ-i-zation will not look to upgrade. They need some prospects in the pipeline but are ok for now.

As good as this team is it still needs another grinding goal scoring stud and a goalie.

Yeah, them and 29 other teams.
