According to the numbers, we don't know that UPL and Lyon aren't "it".

I think Ellis still represents the Shiny New Toy so everyone is flocking to him.  I feel the same way emotionally; I like him.  He was a good pickup.  But a year from now will he be the new whipping boy?  Who knows?

On the completely other hand, it does show that the both Lyon and UPL could be the help a team with weak goltending needs.  They're not as awful as Sabrespace likes to think.

But really, that's the problem:  based on those numbers, we've got three pretty good, not great, goalies.  Out of 78 goalies in the NHL stats, our goalies are ranked 36, 39, and 47 in terms of Sv%.  As a team, we're ranked 21 in Sv%.   

Maybe it's time to move one of these guys and get something that will improve the team in front of them, now.

They have years of data on both UPL and Lyon.
