prolly not but ranking goalies is usually a waste of time

 

[Fatass]

No, and his contract is a killer got FLA.

 

[HarryLime]

maybe in the division

 

[Karl Eriksson]

No. He’s in the 15 to 20 tier.

Please don't say that, I spent 2 hours looking goalie stats lol.

 

[SotasicA]

Yes. Just had a rough season.

i appreciate your effort but the r^2 of year to year goalie performance is so low that its honestly a crapshoot

 

[Voight]

Yes... he was 9th in Vezina voting a year ago. Had a rough year but hell bounce back.

 

[I am not exposed]

No.

Worst contract in the league.

 

[shadow1]

He was truly abysmal this year but my gut reaction is to say he just makes the cut, yes.

 

[Fataldogg]

No. He has never proven anything. Terrible goalie when it counts with a terrible playoff track record. One good series in his entire career.

Two Vezinas, and I would not even have him top-5 in his generation [maybe not even top-10]. Way behind Price, Lundqvist, Rask, Rinne, Luongo, etc. I'd even have him behind goalies like Bishop [who has been a very steady goalie in his career]. I may even have him behind Fleury, as terrible as Fleury was for a stretch of four or five years for the Penguins in the playoffs, Fleury has also had a couple of very good playoff runs while having good regular season success.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I'd still say yes. Closer to 10 than 5, but I'd consider him top 10.

He still has a .917 career SV%, so it's not like his incredible inconsistency is affecting his career stats that much.

He's still likely to be a Vezina finalist and potentially a Vezina winner any given year. But there's also a chance he'll suck any given year. The ceiling is so high and the floor is so low, but the huge potential in his game still makes him top 10. I don't think at age 31 he's past it. I think he's a hugely inconsistent player whose play will vary a lot from season to season and even within seasons.

 

[Video Nasty]

Judging by his career, he’s due to win the Vezina again next year.

 

[biturbo19]

No. Not even close. And he wasn't when they signed that contract either. He was never really what that Jackets system made him appear to be.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

No. Not even close. And he wasn't when they signed that contract either. He was never really what that Jackets system made him appear to be.

Systems don't make a goalie win two Vezina's.

 

[eli4spetterss0n]

The only goalies I'd for sure rank over him are:

Vasilevskiy
Hellebuyck
Rask
Gibson
Price
Bishop
Markstrom
Lehner

Even with his terrible season, I'd put him in the Andersen, Hart, Grubauer tier.

 

[ViD]

No.

Worst contract in the league.

Yes

Worst defense in the league

 

[Taluss]

I think he will bounce back a bit and get into the top 10 but I’d say he’s out of it rn. Regardless looking like a rough contract for the Panthers

 

[JaegerDice]

He kinda has a history of having really good years and really bad years.

I'd hedge my bets and say he's still toward the bottom of the top 10, even after a horrific year.

That said, even if he is a top 10 goalie, that contract is terrible.

 

[I am not exposed]

Yes

Worst defense in the league

Nope.

Bob was atrocious. Driedger with the same defense performed far better than him.

 

[BCNate]

He was brutal this year, so no. He could bounce back though. That is a scary contract for a small market team.

 

[biturbo19]

Systems don't make a goalie win two Vezina's.

No...but reputation does.

 

[jetsforever]

In his good years, yes. In his bad years (like this one), no. We'll see which one he is next year.
