Schneider is one of my favourite goaltenders, so i'm obviously gonna go there. He's also one of the most well-spoken and interesting players to listen to off the ice. Such a weird career though. Took his time getting there, stuck behind Luongo...absolutely ELITE for a little while, and then just completely burnt out early.

I can see how Khudobin can win this with recency bias. He's had some fun moments lately for sure, while Schneider's recent years have been frankly pretty embarrassing. But i'm still going with Schneider very easily on the whole. Just one of those kinda "special" goaltenders to watch at his peak imo. Really had it all. It's hard to watch lately though, like a husk of what he was.

Outside of Hasek who was a totally unique entity, i've never really been that much of a fan of the real "yard sale battler" type goaltenders like Khudobin though. So that's probably also part of it.
