Is it based on one season? Two? Three? Including playoffs?

Mike Smith was 7th in Vezina voting as the 6th worst starting goalie. Makes sense.

Smith played in an easy division and is almost 40 years old. He should be ranked around #30

Mike Smith is way too high, should be right after Murray. I would take Samsonov and Andersen over Smith any day of the week

He's still playing in a bad, arguably worse division this season. Also, he was already old last season. Is being half a year older taking him definitively from 7th in Vezina rankings to 30th? I get it if you want to make predictions, but as of today, there is no proof in this pudding. But if these are predictions for where things end up by next July after the cup is handed out, so be it.

"Easy Division"... you mean the one where all the teams had tons of scoring talent and Montreal was the only team with a good D group? He faced way better shooters on a regular basis last year. He will decline this year but by all means he should definitely be behind Matt Murray who hasn't broken 0.900 in the last two seasons.

What’s with the Mike smith hate? Easily could argue him as the best goalie in the North last year. Age only matters when it effects play which it has not yet so toss out that as excuse to list him so low. Find me a more competitive person than smith it’s impossible. Might not like the guy but should show him the respect he’s clearly earned. He can puck handle better than any goalie he’s willing to fight he never gives up idk what’s not to like….

Binnington is 5th in reg szn GSAx since he came into the league in 2018-19 (per evolving-hockey) and he has proved that he can be relied upon to win meaningful games. There is no way that 24 teams have a better starting goalie. He's probably hovering around the 10-12 range IMO.

Hill is the likely starter in SJ

I'd take Hellebuyck over Vasy. Vasy has had the superior team in front of him but Connor is the better goalie IMO

Binnington is a clear one year wonder there’s no way he will repeat those stats in 18-19 again

Playoffs do count a little bit but not as much as regular season
