What’s the obsession with Hellebuyck?

I think it’s really easy in sports for people to be attracted to “proven names” rather than looking at what is right in front of you.

Bussi went on a historical season run.
Won 3 straight (if you don’t count the OT loss) in the SCF to win the cup.

Do some of you think you can get a higher ceiling than that? Or that over 35+ games it’s a fluke? If anything it’s the same player. I’m just not sure why everyone is so fast to write off our tandem that we have now. Connor is a great goalie for sure. And it would make sense if Freddy got hurt. Bussi came in and allowed 5 and lost. And then PK came in and lost the next 2 or something. Then yea, we need a goalie.

But for crying out loud. I think we have two legit goalies. Why add a 3rd to this equation?

Sincere question. Not looking to argue. I’m just surprised at the hype tbh
