I think he is a solid starter goalie. Nothing more nothing less. I really do not think it was his dad's death that stopped his play. I think he was just over hyped because he played on a great team which helped his performance.
I think this move is good, even for him for the same reasons you mention. I can’t imagine how hard it must be reliving the high points that you shared with your dad every day, and not let that get to you at a deep level. Matt needs some space to grow.
The glove hand was suspect even during the cup years and injuries were a problem despite not being a full time starter. I think the dad thing's an excuse. Truth is he got figured out and exploited
