Is Jonas Johansson the worst goalie in the NHL?

Before the Colorado Avalanche traded for Jonas Johansson a Buffalo reporter shared the following quote:

Jonas Johansson is likely going to Colorado, according to @KevinWeekes.

I can say without hesitation that the Avs are getting the worst goalie I've seen during my 19 seasons covering the Sabres.

He doesn't stop pucks in practice or games.

It's really starting to seem like Vogl might be right. Since the injury to Darcy Kuemper, Johansson has had to step in as a starter and so far he hasn't performed well.

Johansson has allowed 13 goals on 76 shots, which is not the kind of goaltending the Avalanche need at this time when they've already had such a tough stretch to start the season.
