Where does Bobrovsky rank all time?

[gary559]

is he a lock for top 10 yet?

 

[COHawk]

Top 10 in wins (and climbing), including fastest to ever reach 400 wins
3 time Vezina finalist and 2 time winner
2 time Cup winner
2 time 1st team all star
WC best goaltender 2014

Since the criteria changed in 1982 only 3 other goalies have multiple Cups and Vezinas: Hasek, Roy, and Brodeur

Pretty damn good resume. If he's not top 10 already he is pretty damn close stat and accomplishment wise

Bob has a nice collection of hardware, but I struggle to see him as a top 10 goalie all-time at this point in his career. He might eventually get there, and I hope he does.

I don't think he's close to any of the top ten names on the History of Hockey's list from last year: Hasek, Roy, Plante, Sawchuk, Brodeur, Hall, Tretiak, Dryden, Brimsek, Vezina.

No. He's not close.

is he a lock for top 10 yet?

He wins one more (cup or Vezina) and he is in

 

[Bouboumaster]

IMO he was never "the Guy" for all his Time in the NHL but still won two Vezinas

Hard to place him IMO

 

[AvroArrow]

Elite talent, obvious HOFer but I don't think he's top 10

Personally I have Lundqvist, Quick, Price, Vasilevsky (his own generation) ahead of him

This. He is playing on a very good team. He got lit up by Vegas when they weren't so good yet.

Bobrovsky has a strange career to evaluate. He has all the decorations of a generational goalie from a hardware standpoint, but when you break down his career with context, he was never really a consistent top 5-10 goalie for any stretch. Then you have a guy like Price who doesn’t have near as much hardware for example, who doesn’t have a single cup but was considered the best goalie by media and peers over a considerable stretch of time. I guess it depends how much you weigh certain things, but I think Bobrovsky was the beneficiary of playing on a powerhouse at the twighlight of his career.

Yeah its really hard because Price/Lundy are all guys within his vicinity and it could go any which way, but Bob plays on an amazing team whereas they never really did.

I don't mind anybody ranking it either way because Bob has been great for the Panthers and really an unsung hero for them
