Give me a goalie with a 96% low danger save percentage, a 95% medium danger save percentage, and a 90% high danger save percentage over a goalie with a 100% low danger save percentage, 90% medium danger, 80% high danger save percentage.

And because low danger save percentages even for "bad" goalies are so high, low danger save percentage really gets lost in the noise as so many things can cause the extremely slight variations in it needed to get to the lower end of the range (such as.. dumb luck)
