Should Joey Daccord get the chance to prove he can be the starter?

At this point in the season, it’s not a secret that the Ottawa Senators have received less-than-stellar goaltending. When Pierre Dorion traded for Matt Murray, and signed him to a 4 year extension, the expectation was that he would be the goalie not just of the present but of the immediate future as well. Of course there was some risk involved in trading for the two-time Stanley Cup Champion; Murray would not have been available had he maintained a high level of play in Pittsburgh. That being said, even the biggest skeptics would likely not have expected him to struggle so badly.
