Counterpoint: Holtby has massively regressed and hasn't been a good regular season goalie since 2018-19.
His last two seasons:
2019-20: .897 SV%, 3.11 GAA, 11 Really Bad Starts, -16.8 GSAA (Samsonov's numbers: .913 SV%, 2.55 GAA, 2 Really Bad Starts, 2.3 GSAA)
2020-21: .889 SV%, 3.67 GAA, 5 Really Bad Starts, -13 GSAA (Demko's numbers: .915 SV%, 2.85 GAA, 3 Really Bad Starts, 8.2 GSAA)
He's performed considerably worse than his fellow goaltenders the past two seasons. He's just...not good anymore, unfortunately. Great human being, and will always be a legend in DC for his 2018 cup run, but he's washed up now.
