The Gretzkys and Lemiuexs left but we got Crosby and Malkin and Ovechkin and McDavid, etc.
The Prongers and Lidstroms retired but we got Fox, Makar, Josi, Hedman, Hughes, etc.
The Haseks, Roys, Prices, Brodeurs, Lundqvists have all gone now just recently.
Goalies, even true #1s, play fewer games so they're less tired, they have more coaching and development opportunities. But where is the next wave of true greats?
Disregarding the fact future goalies won't even have a chance of sniffing the wins or games played records anymore due to evolutions in team deployment, when will we see the next true GOATender be in regular contention for Hart/Lindsey/Conn Smythe/Vezina trophies?
