Description
20 goalies have a cap hit of 5 million or more. 9 of them have a save percentage UNDER .900 (plus Bobrovsky who is slightly above), and 2 of them are on the IR. Most of these goalies are locked in for 3 years+ making them completely unmoveable! This league doesn't understand the position at all.

So basically if 12 of 20 goalie contracts suck it means a 60% failure rate. I would be curious what the stats are for other positions. My guess is around 20-30%.

Think it's unfair to categorize Demko here, He's only played 15 games into the contract with half of the 15 he was clearly struggling with a nagging injury, the Petersen and Campbell deals looked bad from day 1, Markstrom has also been fine at his cap hit till this year but Calgary in general has been pretty bad think it's still to early to have him as a bad contract

For the purpose of this exercise he has to be included. He could bounce back, but this year it's not great value.

That just showcases part of the problem with goalies. They are more injury prone than other positions.
