For reference, it seems that the top CPHL goalies play 7 games more than the top NHL goalies
top 10 goalies in the NHL for games played
68, 67, 66, 66, 65, 65, 64, 62, 61, 60
CPHL
75,75,73,73,73,71,68,68,68,67 - and this is with a schedule that had a lot of rough spots for most teams.
didn't dig deeper into the stats to grab all starting goaltenders, but I can't imagine the pattern changes that much.
I'm betting it'll be worse this year, the EN ratings seem higher this year than last. I plan on playing Holtby in 78-80 games this year. And since goalies don't get hurt, there's absolutely zero reason for me to pay anything more than 2M for a backup goalie.
Enjoy your 2 free wins whomever gets to play against my unrated AHL goalie next year!
