Just keep repeating to yourselves: the playoffs are a small sample size.
Sure, the Blues’ postseason exit in six games against the Avalanche is fresh on everyone’s minds, and recency bias may make you think that Ville Husso isn’t a quality goaltender. Don’t let it. Think like a GM, and GMs look at the big picture. Husso, a pending UFA, will be getting a pay raise come July 13. The Blues, who are going to be under another close cap crunch and who will need to sign David Perron to one more deal, need to trim costs.
