Now do wins and games played

Kuemper 28
Hellebuyck 43

That's going to put it well out of reach for Kuemper.

 

[KirkAlbuquerque]

he can win the Brian Elliott award

 

[Bear of Bad News]

You've got to be on the ice to win the Vezina.

 

[Herregud]

No, but glad he's bounced back.

 

[Turin]

Hellebuyck has played 20 more games and for some reason behind Logan Stanley way too much so yea he's gonna win again.

 

[Bounces R Way]

He should be a candidate 100%. Really quality goalie this year. Like to see a hockey trade work out for both teams.

 

[Goose]

Same stats in half the games played is impressive but not comparable.

Barring some epic meltdown this is Helly’s

 

[Rick Knickleback]

No. But he might get a nomination.

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

 

[shello]

He shouldn’t win, but that doesn’t take away from how well he’s played this year though

Let's look at two stats YOU chose to ignore

KUEMPER. MIN 2748 wins 28

Helleybuck mins 3496 wins 44

Not close

 

[bland]

Should finish at least third in any legitimate voting.

 

[General Fanager]

0% chance. He should be a finalist though.

Hellebuyck will win 100%

 

[Frolov 6'3]

There is one possible likely event and one sure event.

Hellebuyck wins the Vezina and Hellebuyck plays golf halfway in May.

 

[Siignal]

In the 2025-2026 season, yes

 

[Oddbob]

Hellebuyck is winning this in a landslide this year. Kuemper will probably be 3rd or 4th in votes, but Connor is winning.

 

[Paper]

He is eligible. It will depend if he gets more points in votes than second place.

 

[D Wakaluk]

No. Next

But he can win the Los Angeles Kings award for being in the most life draining team in the league

 

[Jumptheshark]

0% chance. He should be a finalist though.

Hellebuyck will win 100%

The fact he is 10th in wins and 23rd in TOI--that will be held against him

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

These don't look like numbers a cooked goalie could put up. People were saying he doesn't belong in the NHL anymore.

And he's been a huge part in the king's success this year.

 

[banks]

Goalies are voodoo.

And, aside from last year in Washington, Kuemper has always been really good when healthy. It's just that he's almost never healthy. Not sure who told you he doesn't belong in the NHL anymore. But that was probably an overreaction, considering the sterling numbers with LA.

 

[Sasha Orlov]

Helly should be a complete and total lock for this so I’d say no chance

 

[JKG33]

he can win the Brian Elliott award

Brian Elliott spent his career being at best a 1B.

Kuemper has arguably the worst backup in the league.

Swing and a miss
