Total is 45 total trades (but there are a couple of guys traded twice....like Quick last year, Bishop in 2017, Halak in 2014). On average that is ~4 goalies per year. Only 11 total that would be considered starters at time of trade (and only 4 of those in last 8 years).
Number of goalies *with term* (more than 1 year) and at least 10 games played traded by season:
2013-14 4
2014-15 0
2015-16 0
2016-17 0
2017-18 0
2018-19 0
2019-20 0
2020-21 0
2021-22 0
2022-23 0
(yes...you are reading that correctly)

I was thinking about how often good goalies get traded while trying to sell Markstrom.
You think this year will be an exception? Lot's of need among contenders and some interesting names that might be available, such as Markstrom and Saros.
Lot's of interesting available options too.
The other thing I was thinking about, was the returns, I don't think goalies fetch a lot of value.
