Goalies with great puck handling, puck moving, puck freezing, etc. skills naturally help the defense and forward with breakout and preventing dangerous chances. Goalies who stop the initial shot are again also good at enhancing players advanced stats. Granted advanced stats have minimal effect on goalies shoulders, they absolutely affect it, and it's a lot more underrated than people think.

Goaltending positioning affecs adjusted and expected save percentage, initial shot quality doesn't have much to do with goalies, but secondary chances a lot of times do.</i></div></div> Brodeur, Rinne, Holtby, Bishop, etc. faced very little shots yes because they do have excellent defense, but also because they help their players out. Rinne this year however fell off a cliff in actually stopping the puck, especially secondary chances, despite his still excellent puck skills. On the other end of the spectrum goalies like Crawford, Halak, and Elliott make it more difficult for their team's defense with their play, however at least they play very well under secondary chances, especially Crawford. And then there's Pavelec who sucks at puck control and actually stopping the puck...
